P.Y.74, a commercial pigment of considerable significance, is used primarily in the printing ink and paint industries. Its greenish yellow shades are somewhere between those of P.Y.3 and P.Y.1. The pigment is considerably stronger than and superior to all comparable monoazo yellow pigments. P.Y.74 grades with very different particle sizes are commercially available.Varieties with fine particle sizes, i.e., pigments with specific surface areas between approximately 30 and 70 m2/g, are used primarily in the printing ink industry. They provide brilliant prints, which are brighter and more transparent than those of other monoazo yellow pigments. P.Y.74 is somewhat more greenish than the standard yellow. Its shade can be adjusted with suitable reddish yellow pigments.
