What is Pigment Yellow?

Pigment yellow refers to a type of colorant derived from organic compounds. These compounds are used to create yellow pigments that are often employed in various industries such as paints, plastics, inks, and textiles to achieve different shades of yellow.

Organic pigment yellows are valued for their brightness, stability, and versatility in coloring various materials.

Color Index of Pigment Yellow

The Color Index (C.I.) Number is a unique identifier assigned to each pigment and dye. For example, P.Y.1, P.Y.3, P.Y.6, P.Y.12, P.Y.13, P.Y.14, and so on, up to P.Y.194.

For Pigment yellow, the C.I. Number becomes crucial in distinguishing the subtle variations in shades.

For example:
1. Pigment yellow 1, also known as C.I.P.Y.1 or Lightfast yellow. iSuoChem has developed an equivalent code for BY1-G, which is a Universal type suitable for the coating industry, especially for Water Deco paint.
2. Pigment yellow 12, also known as C.I.P.Y.12, has the same code, but iSuoChem has a more segmented product system for Pigment 12. By adjusting the formula, we can create more product series that can be applied to more specific application fields.
2-1. Pigment 12 (BY12-HC) has high color strength, transparency, and is suitable for ink, coatings, and plastics, particularly for Offset ink and Water-based flexo ink.
2-2. Pigment 12 (BY12-GP) is a universal type suitable for ink, coatings, and plastics, especially for Offset ink and Textile printing coating.
2-3. In addition to Pigment 12, iSuoChem also offers BY12-HT, BY12-F5, BY12-RS, and other variations.
This system ensures that industries worldwide can communicate and reproduce colors with precision.
