What is Pigment Yellow 14

Pigment Yellow 14 (C.I. 21095) is a synthetic organic diarylide yellow pigment widely used in printing inks, coatings, and certain plastic applications. It provides a medium to greenish-yellow shade with good tinting strength and established performance in publication and packaging printing. As a conventional diarylide pigment, Pigment Yellow 14 is often selected for applications requiring balanced color properties and cost efficiency under controlled exposure conditions.

It is primarily intended for indoor or short-term outdoor exposure applications.

Key Performance Properties Related to Applications

Color Shade:
Provides a medium greenish-yellow tone suitable for process yellow and blending applications.
Tinting Strength:
Offers good tinting strength, supporting efficient color development in ink systems.
Printability:
Exhibits stable rheological behavior in offset and gravure inks, contributing to consistent ink transfer and reproduction.
Dispersibility:
Can be dispersed using conventional milling methods in common binder systems.
Heat Resistance:
Suitable for low to moderate temperature applications; generally not recommended for high-temperature engineering plastics.

Advantages

1. PY14 provides a vivid greenish-yellow hue with strong color intensity and high tinting strength. Its tone is clean and bright, making it a popular choice in applications where vibrant visual appeal is required—such as packaging inks and plastics.

2. This pigment exhibits good resistance to organic solvents and paraffin, ensuring color stability and preventing bleeding or migration in solvent-based ink systems. It performs exceptionally well in packaging inks that require resistance to oils and solventsPY14 maintains excellent thermal stability up to 200 °C in polyolefin systems. This makes it suitable for coloring a variety of thermoplastic materials, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and PVC.

Buyer Guidance

Shade Requirements:
Confirm that a medium to greenish-yellow tone meets formulation needs.
Exposure Conditions:
Assess indoor versus outdoor durability expectations.
Printing Process Type:
Verify compatibility with offset, gravure, or flexographic systems.
Processing Temperature:
Review curing or molding temperatures to ensure stability.
Regulatory Compliance:
Consider applicable regional and industry-specific regulations.
