Product applications:
I. Ink field
Water-based ink: Suitable for water-based ink systems, with excellent dispersibility and water resistance.
Solvent-based ink: Fully compatible with solvent-based inks, solvent resistance up to grade 5, strong color stability.
Offset ink: Recommended for offset inks, providing high tinting strength and bright neutral red.
II. Plastic field
PVC/PS/Polyolefins: Heat resistant up to 300°C/5min, no migration issues
HDPE/Engineering plastics: Maintains stability at 1/3 standard depth.
III. Coating field: Widely used in automotive primers, industrial coatings, weather resistance up to grade 5, excellent color matching with molybdate chrome red
IV. Printing paste field: Suitable for pigment printing pastes, resistant to acid and alkali with bright colors
Uses: Pigment Red 254 is widely used in printing inks due to its excellent color brightness and lightfastness, especially in water-based packaging inks and plastic packaging inks.
Coatings: In the coating field, Pigment Red 254 is also widely used for its high performance, providing durable red decorative effects for various substrates.
Plastics: Pigment Red 254 can be used for coloring PVC, PS, polyolefins, and other plastics, providing bright and durable red colors.
