The product we are introducing here is Factory Supply Pigment Yellow 74 with the CAS number 6358 - 31 - 2. Pigment Yellow 74 is a popular organic pigment that belongs to the monoazo pigment class.
Appearance: It typically presents as a bright yellow powder. This fine - grained powder has excellent dispersibility, which is crucial for its application in various industries.
Chemical formula: Its chemical formula gives it unique chemical and physical properties. Regarding its particle size, it is well - controlled during the manufacturing process to ensure consistent quality. The particle size distribution affects its color strength, transparency, and hiding power.
Color strength: Pigment Yellow 74 has high color strength, which means that a relatively small amount of the pigment can achieve a vivid and intense yellow color in the final product. Lightfastness is another important parameter. It has good lightfastness, which makes it suitable for applications where the product will be exposed to sunlight or other light sources over an extended period.
Pigment Yellow 74 has a wide range of uses across different industries:
**1. Paints and Coatings**: In the paints and coatings industry, it is used to provide a bright yellow color. It can be formulated into various types of paints, such as automotive paints, industrial coatings, and architectural paints. Its good lightfastness and weather resistance ensure that the painted surfaces maintain their color and appearance for a long time.
**2. Plastics**: When it comes to plastics, Pigment Yellow 74 is used to color plastic products. It can be added during the plastic manufacturing process to create yellow - colored plastic items, including toys, household appliances, and packaging materials. Its high color strength allows for efficient coloring with a low pigment loading.
**3. Printing Inks**: For the printing industry, this pigment is a popular choice for formulating yellow printing inks. Whether it is offset printing, gravure printing, or flexographic printing, Pigment Yellow 74 can deliver clear and vivid yellow prints. It has good compatibility with different ink systems and provides excellent printability.
**1. Paints and Coatings**: First, ensure that the pigment is properly dispersed in the paint or coating formulation. This can be achieved through high - shear mixing. Start by adding a small amount of the pigment to a portion of the liquid medium and mix thoroughly. Then, gradually add the remaining medium while continuing to mix. Test the color and adjust the pigment amount if necessary.
**2. Plastics**: In plastic processing, the pigment can be pre - mixed with the plastic resin before extrusion or injection molding. Use a twin - screw extruder or a high - speed mixer to ensure uniform dispersion. The processing temperature and time should be carefully controlled according to the plastic resin's requirements to avoid pigment degradation.
**3. Printing Inks**: When formulating printing inks, add the pigment to the ink vehicle and use a three - roll mill or a bead mill for dispersion. The milling process should be carried out until the desired particle size and dispersion quality are achieved. Adjust the viscosity and other properties of the ink according to the printing requirements.
**1. Automotive Paint Manufacturer**: An automotive paint manufacturer used Pigment Yellow 74 to develop a new yellow automotive paint. By carefully controlling the dispersion process and optimizing the formulation, they were able to achieve a bright and long - lasting yellow color. The paint passed strict weathering and lightfastness tests, which increased the market competitiveness of their automotive paint products.
**2. Plastic Toy Manufacturer**: A plastic toy manufacturer incorporated Pigment Yellow 74 into their toy production. They found that with proper dispersion in the plastic resin, the toys had a vivid yellow color. The high color strength of the pigment allowed them to use less pigment, reducing production costs while still achieving the desired color effect.
**3. Printing Company**: A printing company used Pigment Yellow 74 to print brochures. The pigment - based yellow ink provided sharp and clear prints. The good printability of the ink ensured smooth printing on different paper substrates, and the final brochures had an attractive yellow color that caught the attention of customers.
