C.I.PY97 1270 SuperFast Yellow FGL

1270 SuperFast Yellow FGL
C.I.NO.:PY97 Pigment Yellow 97

Pigment Yellow 97 provides a medium yellow shade with properties that are somewhat of an exception compared to other monoazo yellow pigments. Its hue is similar to that of P.Y.1. P.Y.97 is considerably more resistant to most organic solvents than the other representatives of this group, its migration fastness properties are also superior.

In a performance test, in which prints formulated at 5% pigment concentration are applied to sheet metal covered with white paint, most monoazo 2.3 Monoazo Yellow 226 and Orange Pigments yellow pigments clearly change color after 30 minutes exposure to a temperature up to 140°C (Sec. 1.6.7). P.Y.97, however, being very heat stable, retains its color for 30 minutes at 180°C or for 10 minutes at 200°C. P.Y.97 is very lightfast and durable;

P.Y.97 is used in a variety of fields. Even in pastel shades, it is used in industrial finishes; while its full shades lend color to automobile refinishes. In emulsion paints, both its medium and full shades are suited to exterior application. The printing ink industry uses P.Y.97 in high grade printing products, especially where excellent fastness is required, such as in stable posters, etc. It lends itself without difficulty to all printing techniques. However, lack of fastness to monostyrene and acetone and therefore a certain tendency to bleed in these media precludes its application in deco printing inks, i.e., for decorative laminates.

P.Y.97 can also be applied in plastics.

P.Y.97 can also be applied in other areas, such as in pigmented waterbased paints.
