HP YELLOW 1455 (PY12): Stable and High-efficiency Yellow Pigment

Jan 19, 2026 News

HP YELLOW 1455 (Pigment Yellow 12) is our independently developed diarylide medium-shade yellow organic pigment (CAS No. 6358-85-6, molecular formula C₃₂H₂₆Cl₂N₆O₄). It features high-concentration compatibility and stable printing performance, serving as a cost-effective yellow component for offset inks, water-based inks and certain plastics.

I. Core Competitiveness & Quality Assurance

1. Core Advantage Overview

As a high-performance diarylide yellow pigment, HP YELLOW 1455 has three core strengths for ink and material manufacturers:

  • Stable High-Concentration Application: High-concentration compatibility with various inks, excellent color strength, stable fluidity, cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
  • Strong System Adaptability: Compatible with offset and water-based inks; modified versions optimize process and storage performance, avoiding color deviation and viscosity fluctuation.
  • Cost-Effective Performance Balance: Excellent performance and resistance with notable cost advantage, ensuring quality and controlling cost.

2. Quality Assurance System

HP YELLOW 1455 follows international standards with a full-process quality control system:

  • Raw Material Control: High-quality raw materials, pre-factory testing, stable source quality.
  • Production Monitoring: Online testing in key links, ensuring batch consistency.
  • Finished Product Inspection: Deliver only after passing comprehensive tests, eliminating defective products.
  • After-sales Traceability: Batch traceability, quickly locate and solve quality problems.

II. Application Scenarios

1. Performance & Applications in Offset Printing Inks

Core Advantages:

  • Supports ≥15% pigment concentration, meeting high-speed press ink supply demands.
  • New reddish-shade variants improve recrystallization stability, suitable for agitated ball mill dispersion.
  • Resistant to clear lacquer overcoating and sterilization, complying with food packaging requirements.

Suitable Scenarios: Sheetfed inks, silkscreen inks, applied in packaging offset printing, commercial multi-color printing and high-gloss thin-layer overprinting.

2. Performance & Applications in Water-Based Inks

Core Advantages:

  • Eco-friendly and cost-effective; amine-treated versions resist high-temperature agitation, avoiding shade shift and viscosity increase during storage.
  • Finer particle size versions show clean greenish-yellow tones with fresh visual effect.
  • High compatibility with water-based resins and additives, enabling stable production.

III. Performance Advantages Summary

  • High Compatibility & Cost-Effectiveness: Stable flow properties in offset and water-based inks; amine-treated versions enhance water-based system storage stability.
  • Flexible Shade Adjustment: Medium yellow hue can be fine-tuned with small amounts of P.O.13/34 orange pigments to match European standard or Kodak yellow scales.

HP YELLOW 1455 is a cost-effective choice for ink and material manufacturers due to its excellent adaptability and multi-scenario expansion capability. Feel free to contact us for samples or technical data!
