Product applications
When used for coloring coatings, inks, and plastics, it exhibits a bright greenish yellow hue. Due to the formation of intramolecular nickel complexes, it possesses excellent heat stability and weather fastness, along with good flow properties, making it suitable for various polymer material applications.
In nylon product coloring, it does not migrate or discolor after boiling at 150°C for 15 minutes.
Pigment Yellow 150 is recommended for spin dyeing of polypropylene and polyamide fibers. In such applications, the pigment demonstrates good thermal stability and excellent weather resistance.
Under general injection molding conditions, Pigment Yellow 150 may react with zinc sulfide in polyamides, hence it is generally not used in polyamide injection molding processes.

Uses: Primarily recommended for industrial coatings and printing ink coloration, particularly excelling in dyeing and printing of fiber materials such as nylon. Additionally, it can be used in plastics, rubber, coatings, inks, and other industries.
