3150 SuperFast Orange HL C.I.NO.:PO36 Pigment Orange 36

P.O.36 is a reddish, somewhat dull orange pigment which provides very good lightfastness and weatherfastness. It is a highly important pigment. The commercially available types differ considerably in their hiding power/transparency. Different types vary even in terms of shade – the opaque version is redder and noticeably cleaner and other properties, as well as fastness properties.

P.O.36 is broad in scope, its main area of application is in paints. Masstone and similar deep shades have excellent lightfastness. The opaque variety, which was introduced in the mid-seventies, performs much better in this respect than the standard grade.

P.O.36 is frequently used in combination with quinacridone pigments to produce paints which feature, Small amounts of TiO2 may be added. Very good rheological behavior in paints makes it possible to increase the concentration of opaque pigment without affecting the gloss. The opaque version of P.O.36 is also used in combination with chromate pigments. Coatings which are pigmented in full and similarly deep shades do not darken as they are exposed to light and weather.

P.O.36 is used throughout the printing ink industry for letterpress and offset inks, all types of packaging gravure and flexographic inks, and for metal deco printing. The prints are very lightfast.

The prints are excellently fast to chemicals and resistant to solvents such as toluene, mineral spirit, methylethylketone, and to the DIN 16 524 standard solvent blend. They withstand clear lacquer coatings and may safely be sterilized. Prints made from P.O.36 tolerate exposure to 220°C for 30 minutes.

P.O.36 is also used to color unsaturated polyester resins. Both transparent and opaque samples exhibit a lightfastness in these media that equals step 7 on the Blue Scale. The pigment does not affect the shrinkage of the plastic.
