Frequently Asked Questions — PIGMENT YELLOW 110

What specific color shade does PIGMENT YELLOW 110 (PY110) offer, and how does it compare to other yellow pigments?

PIGMENT YELLOW 110 (CAS 5590-18-1, C.I. 56280) delivers a distinct greenish-yellow shade, making it ideal for formulations needing a clean, bright tone rather than a reddish yellow. Its high heat stability (tested up to 280°C in PP and PE) and excellent light fastness (8 on the blue wool scale in full shade) ensure consistent performance even in demanding applications like auto paints and coil coatings. This greenish character is particularly valued for tinting strength in offset inks and solvent-based industrial coatings.

Is PIGMENT YELLOW 110 compatible with polycarbonate (PC) and other engineering plastics?

Yes, PIGMENT YELLOW 110 is fully compatible with PC, POM, PA, PET, PBT, PMMA, ABS, and other engineering plastics. Its chemical formula C22H6Cl8N4O2 provides exceptional heat stability (up to 300°C in PA and PET grades) and migration resistance, critical for preventing blooming or color shift during high-temperature processing. In PP and PE masterbatch, it maintains a specific density of 1.70 g/cm³ with consistent dispersibility. For ABS and PC applications, we recommend end-user testing at 0.1-0.5% pigment loading to optimize opacity without overloading the resin.

How does the heat stability of PIGMENT YELLOW 110 perform in powder coatings and coil coatings?

PIGMENT YELLOW 110 exhibits heat stability exceeding 260°C in powder coatings and coil coatings, withstanding the full curing cycle without decomposition or shift in greenish shade. In coil coating formulations applied at 240-260°C with 60-minute residence times, PY110 retains ≥95% of initial color strength. For powder coatings, it demonstrates <1.0 ΔE color change after 10-minute exposure at 200°C. This makes it a preferred choice for outdoor architectural and automotive OEM coatings requiring both high temperature tolerance and UV stability.

What are the key technical properties for using PIGMENT YELLOW 110 in water-based inks?

PIGMENT YELLOW 110 requires optimized dispersion in water-based systems due to its hydrophobic nature, but with correct wetting agents and dispersants, it achieves 25-30 µm fineness in offset and water-based inks. Its light fastness rating of 7-8 (1-8 scale) ensures color retention in packaging prints exposed to sunlight. Key application data: heat stability 240°C for 30 minutes in water-based inks, resistance to acid and alkali (5 on 1-5 scale), and specific density 1.70 g/cm³ for consistent sedimentation control. We recommend pre-wetting with non-ionic surfactants at 2-5% resin solid content for safe processing.

How does batch consistency of PIGMENT YELLOW 110 affect reprocessing in PP masterbatch?

Each batch of PIGMENT YELLOW 110 undergoes spectrophotometric color strength testing (ΔE < 0.8 versus standard) and particle size distribution analysis (D50 0.8-1.5 µm) to ensure predictable tinting in PP masterbatch. In reprocessing cycles at 230°C with 5% pigment loading, PY110 maintains <2% color strength loss after three extrusions—critical for minimizing waste in continuous production. The pigment's insolubility in PP matrix (no migration at 0.1% loading in 24h at 80°C) guarantees consistent through-color in injection-molded parts. Reproducibility is documented per ISO 9001:2015, with batch data included in every shipment.
