Pigment yellow 83, transparency type Yellow HR P.Y.83 possesses excellent fastness properties, which make it almost universally applicable. It provides a reddish yellow hue, which is considerably more reddish than that of P.Y.13 and at the same time very strong. P.Y.83 is the standard pigment within the reddish yellow range. P.Y.83 shows good to very good resistance to most solvents which are typically found in application media. P.Y.83 shows excellent lightfastness, even in methylmethacrylate or unsaturated polyester cast resins. The pigment does not affect the hardening of the latter. P.Y.83 is also used to an appreciable extent in plastics. Because of its good solvent resistance, migration is no problem in plasticized PVC even at low pigment levels; it does not bleed or bloom.

Pigment Yellow 83 opaque type, PY83 yellow HR70 P.Y.83 HR70 types is an extremely opaque form. It provides finishes with good flow properties and makes it easy to increase the pigment concentration, which in turn improves the hiding power.

The product also lends itself to paints for automobile refinishes and tractor and implement finishes. It is found in a variety of high grade industrial finishes. Good overall fastness and considerable tinctorial strength broaden the scope of P.Y.83 application. The list includes office articles, artists’ colors, and solvent based wood stains, in which the pigment is frequently combined with red pigments and carbon black to produce shades of brown.
