- Light fastness: Light fastness rating is assessed on 1 to 8 Blue Wool scale where 1 = ‘Poor’ and 8 = ‘Excellent’.
- Heat Stability : Heat stability values given indicate the maximum temperature at which the pigment can be stoved for 10 min. on the full shade and in reductions without undergoing any significant change in shade.
- Oil absorption: The oil absorption is determined on the basis of EN ISO 787-5 and given in g linseed oil per 100 gm. pigment.
- Solvent bleeding: The bleeding in solvents is tested using the powder grades and the visual rating given on 1 to 5 Grey scale
where 1 = ‘Heavy bleeding’ and 5 = ‘No bleeding”

Frequently Asked Questions — PIGMENT RED 202
How does PIGMENT RED 202 differ from PR122 in automotive coatings?
PIGMENT RED 202 (C.I. Pigment Red 202, CAS via Quinacridone type) delivers a distinctly bluer and darker shade compared to PR122, making it ideal for deep red and maroon tones in automotive OEM and refinish paints. Its quinacridone chemistry provides superior weather resistance and light fastness, while the fine particle size enhances transparency and rheological properties for high-solids solvent-borne systems. In high-heat applications like coil coatings, it maintains stability up to the structured heat stability limit of this grade, ensuring color consistency under demanding curing conditions.
What specific plastic applications are recommended for HP RED 25215?
HP RED 25215 (PR202) is recommended for engineering plastics including PP, PE, PVC, PS/SAN, ABS, PET, PBT, PMMA, and rubber/TPV compounds. In polyolefins and styrenics, it offers excellent heat stability for injection molding and extrusion processes, meeting the color strength requirements for automotive interior trim and consumer goods. Its high transparency can be leveraged in PET and PBT for bottle preforms or electronic housings where lightfastness and bleed resistance in organic solvents like xylene and MEK are critical, as per our technical data sheet.
Can PIGMENT RED 202 be used in water-based printing inks?
Yes, PIGMENT RED 202 is suitable for water-based inks when formulated with appropriate dispersing agents. Its quinacridone structure provides the necessary chemical resistance for aqueous systems in packaging and publication inks. The fine particle size distribution, confirmed in our physical properties data, ensures consistent color development and rheology stability. While primarily optimized for solvent-based systems, proper defoamer and wetting agent selection enables stable millbase preparation for water-based flexo or gravure applications targeting high weather resistance.
What technical data supports the weather resistance of PR202 in coatings?
Full technical data for PR202 includes measured weather resistance values, heat stability temperature thresholds, and light fastness ratings under standard test methods. The quinacridone pigment type delivers proven outdoor durability in industrial and automotive coatings, with specific performance data available for both solvent-based and powder coating systems. Batch homogeneity is ensured through ISO 9001 procedures that verify color strength, shade, dispersibility, and particle size against retained standards, with test results documented per shipment without requiring separate requests.
How does temperature stability affect processing of HP RED 25215 in plastics?
The heat stability of HP RED 25215 (Pigment Red 202) directly impacts its processing window in engineering plastics like ABS, PET, and PBT. At recommended processing temperatures, the pigment maintains its color strength and shade integrity without thermal degradation or bleeding in organic solvents. Our technical data specifies stability limits for injection molding and extrusion, ensuring no shift in hue during melt processing at typical automotive or packaging application processing temperatures. For high-temperature engineering resins like PBT, the pigment’s inherent thermal resistance prevents color drift across the entire processing cycle.
