What is Pigment Red 48:2

Pigment Red 48:2 (C.I. 15865:2) is an organic azo pigment belonging to the BONA (β-oxynaphthoic acid) pigment family. It is the barium salt form of Pigment Red 48 and generally provides a bluish-red shade.

The pigment is produced through an azo coupling reaction followed by conversion into a metal salt form, which improves pigment stability and reduces solubility. This process results in an insoluble organic pigment suitable for a variety of industrial coloring systems.

Pigment Red 48:2 is widely used in coatings, printing inks, plastics, and related materials where a stable red tone and conventional pigment chemistry are required.

Typical Applications

Pigment Red 48:2 is used in several industrial coloration systems.

Typical applications include:

  • Industrial coatings
    Applied in general industrial paints and decorative coatings.

  • Printing inks
    Used in packaging inks, publication inks, and other conventional printing ink formulations.

  • Plastic coloration
    Suitable for certain plastic materials such as PVC and polyolefins under moderate processing temperatures.

  • Rubber products
    Used in rubber coloration and other related industrial compounds.

Key Performance Properties Related to Applications

The application performance of Pigment Red 48:2 is influenced by its chemical structure and metal salt form.

Key properties include:

  • Color shade
    Bluish-red tone with moderate chroma.

  • Tinting strength
    Moderate to relatively strong tinting strength typical of BONA-type pigments.

  • Dispersion characteristics
    Can be dispersed in coating, ink, and plastic formulations using conventional dispersion processes.

  • Heat resistance
    Moderate thermal stability suitable for certain plastic processing conditions.

  • Solvent resistance
    Generally compatible with solvents commonly used in coatings and printing inks.

Advantages

Pigment Red 48:2 offers several characteristics associated with BONA-type azo pigments.

  • Bluish-red color tone

  • Balanced tinting strength for industrial coloration

  • Applicable in coatings, inks, and some plastics

  • Established pigment type used in various industrial formulations

  • Compatible with standard pigment dispersion methods

Typical Limitations

Pigment Red 48:2 may have limitations depending on the durability requirements of the final application.

Typical limitations include:

  • Moderate lightfastness, particularly in outdoor exposure

  • Limited heat resistance compared with high-performance pigments

  • Possible bleeding or migration in certain plastic systems

  • Not typically used where long-term weather resistance is required

Buyer Guidance

When selecting Pigment Red 48:2 for industrial applications, several technical aspects are often considered:

  • Processing temperature of plastics or coatings

  • Lightfastness requirements for indoor or outdoor use

  • Compatibility with binder or resin systems

  • Dispersion performance in the formulation

For applications requiring higher durability, stronger weather resistance, or improved thermal stability, other pigment chemistries may also be evaluated.
