Pigment Yellow 168 is widely used in several industrial coloration fields.
• Industrial Coatings: Decorative paints, architectural coatings, and general industrial finishes.
• Plastics: Polyolefins such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), as well as PVC and masterbatch formulations.
• Printing Inks: Packaging inks and certain solvent-based printing systems.
• Consumer Plastic Products: Colored molded and extruded plastic components.
• Packaging Materials: Plastic films, containers, and decorative plastic items.
These applications benefit from the pigment’s stability and compatibility with common resin systems.
• Color Shade:
Produces a bright greenish-yellow tone with clear and vivid color appearance.
• Tinting Strength:
Provides moderate to strong tinting strength suitable for plastics and coating formulations.
• Lightfastness:
Offers good lightfastness performance, supporting color stability during light exposure.
• Heat Resistance:
Suitable for plastic processing temperatures typically up to 260–280 °C, depending on the polymer system.
• Chemical Resistance:
Shows resistance to many acids, alkalis, and common organic solvents.
• Dispersibility:
Can be dispersed using standard compounding and milling processes in coatings and plastics.
1.Cost-Effective Performance
PY168 combines reliable performance with economic efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for formulations that demand durability without high raw material costs.
2.Broad Application Versatility
The pigment is widely used in coatings and plastics, including LDPE, PVC, and other polymer systems, offering consistent color and stability across different applications.
3、Superior Migration Fastness in PVC
PY168 demonstrates excellent migration resistance in plasticized PVC, preventing color bleeding or staining and ensuring long-term stability.
• Outdoor Durability Limits:
For long-term exterior exposure, higher weather-resistant pigments may sometimes be preferred.
• Cost Compared with Standard Azo Pigments:
May have higher cost due to its improved performance characteristics.
• Formulation Sensitivity:
Performance may vary depending on resin system, pigment concentration, and processing conditions.
When evaluating Pigment Yellow 168, buyers typically consider:
• Required shade tone (greenish yellow vs. reddish yellow)
• Intended exposure conditions (indoor vs. outdoor use)
• Processing temperature of the plastic or coating system
• Required lightfastness and durability level
• Compatibility with coating, plastic, or ink resin systems
• Regulatory and compliance considerations
