Features
Red RN affords clean yellowish shades of red. It is broad in scope and in this respect resembles the somewhat bluer disazo condensation pigment Pigment Red 144. Its main area of application, however, is in plastics and in spin dyeing. In the plastics sector, P.R.166 is used primarily to colour PVC and polyolefins. The pigment is almost completely fast to bleeding in plasticized PVC. Similarly, coloured pigments of other classes perform poorer in terms of migration and lightfastness and also regarding heat stability. These pigments are considered suitable alternatives to P.R.166 only where the application requirements are less stringent. Red RN exhibits medium to good tinctorial strength compared to other pigments covering the same range of shades. Red RN is recommended in the paint field for use in high-grade industrial paints, for original automotive finishes, and for automobile refinishes, as well as for architectural paints and emulsion paints. Like other members of its class, Red RN is used throughout the printing ink industry for high-grade prints, especially for packaging purposes. It possesses all-round suitability for various printing techniques.
Application
Recommended for automotive paints, architectural paints, industrial paints, powder coatings, printing pastes, PVC, rubber, PS, PP, PE, PU, water-based inks, solvent inks, and UV inks. Suggested for coil coatings, and offset inks.
