Typical Applications

Pigment Yellow 13 is widely used in printing inks, coatings, and general-purpose plastics, where bright color and cost efficiency are required.
In the printing industry, it is commonly applied in solvent-based and water-based inks, especially for packaging and publication printing.
In coatings, Pigment Yellow 13 is suitable for decorative paints and industrial coatings that do not require high-temperature processing.
For plastics, it is mainly used in general plastic coloring and masterbatch applications with moderate thermal requirements.

Key Performance Properties Related to Applications

Pigment Yellow 13 offers a bright yellow shade with good color strength, making it suitable for applications where visual impact is important.
It shows good dispersion performance in ink and coating systems, contributing to stable color development during processing.
The pigment provides moderate heat resistance, which meets the requirements of most general plastics and coating applications.
Its cost-effective performance makes it a preferred choice for large-volume industrial uses, particularly in inks and decorative coatings.

Advantages

1. Excellent Migration Resistance
Pigment Yellow 13 boasts outstanding migration resistance, ensuring stable and durable color performance in various products. Its low migration tendency is especially beneficial in products where long-lasting color stability is essential.

2.Excellent Lightfastness and Multi-Media Stability
Pigment Yellow 13 exhibits excellent lightfastness in full shades, effectively resisting fading caused by light exposure. It also maintains stable performance across various media, ensuring outstanding reliability and durability in diverse application environments.

Typical Limitations

1. Moderate Heat Resistance
Pigment Yellow 13 has moderate heat resistance, which limits its suitability for high-temperature engineering plastics or processing conditions involving prolonged heat exposure.

2. Limited Suitability for High-Durability Applications
In applications requiring higher thermal stability, improved weather resistance, or long-term outdoor durability, Pigment Yellow 13 may not meet performance expectations, and alternative pigments with enhanced properties should be considered.

Buyer Guidance: What to Confirm When Sourcing Pigment Yellow 13

When sourcing Pigment Yellow 13, buyers are advised to clearly specify their end-use application, such as printing inks, coatings, or plastics.
Key factors to confirm include heat resistance requirements, dispersion method, and color shade expectations.
For export-oriented projects, buyers should also clarify regulatory and compliance requirements, as well as batch consistency expectations.
Providing detailed application information helps pigment manufacturers recommend the most suitable grade and reduces the risk of performance mismatch.
