Description

Pigment Yellow 3 is a high-performance, monoazo-based organic pigment renowned for its bright, greenish-yellow hue and excellent color strength. This pigment matters for its superior lightfastness, heat stability, and chemical resistance, making it a reliable and cost-effective choice for demanding applications. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, inks, and synthetic fiber industries seeking durable and vibrant yellow coloration.

Application

• Coloration of plastics (PVC, polyolefins, engineering plastics) and synthetic fibers.
• Manufacturing of high-quality industrial and decorative coatings, including automotive finishes.
• Formulation of printing inks for packaging, publications, and textiles.
• Pigmentation of masterbatches and color concentrates.
• Coloring rubber and elastomeric products.
• Used in the coloration of paper and specialty papers.
• Applications in artist colors and other specialty paints.
