C.I.PY150 1340 SuperFast Yellow 5GN

1340 SuperFast Yellow 5GN  C.I.NO.:PY150 Pigment Yellow 150

This pigment, an azo/nickel complex, affords dull, medium shades of yellow. The pigment is recommended for use in paints and printing inks. P.Y.150 is used as a colorant for general industrial and architectural paints wherever the durability requirements are not too high. It exhibits good resistance to organic solvents but is not entirely fast to overcoating.

P.Y.150 is also very lightfast in printing inks. The prints, however, are neither acid nor alkali resistant. Moreover, they are somewhat sensitive to a number of organic solvents, including the DIN 16 524/1 standard solvent mixture, and soap. The systems are heat stable up to 140°C. Prints made from P.Y.150 are almost completely fast to sterilization. A pigment with high tinctorial strength, P.Y.150 is particularly suitable for use in decoration printing inks for laminates.

A new special-purpose type of P.Y.150 has been introduced to the market a few years ago. It is recommended for use in spin dyeing polypropylene and polyamide fibers. In this type of application, the pigment exhibits good heat stability and also good lightfastness and weatherfastness. Under common processing conditions in injection molding, P.Y.150 is likely to react with the zinc sulfide which is often found in polyamide, a tendency which precludes its use in polyamide injection molding.
