Pigment Orange 16
Pigment Orange 16 is a dianisidine disazo orange used in printing inks and selected paints, plastics and rubber. Grades differ in shade and opacity, so an application drawdown is needed when comparing alternatives carrying the same Color Index.

PRODUCT PROFILE
P.O.16Pigment Orange 16 — grade profile
Pigment Orange 16 (P.O.16) is a disazo dianisidine pigment for Plastics & masterbatch, Coatings & paint, Printing inks and Textiles & fibers. Compare shade, tinting strength, dispersion and processing stability in the customer’s actual resin or binder rather than relying on one universal value.
Published screening data includes published heat reference 180 °C, light fastness 4–5/8, oil absorption 30–40 g/100g and migration resistance 3–4/5. Application-specific heat and fastness entries in the technical table take precedence.
Primary listed fits include Pigment textile printing, Offset inks and Water-based inks; PVC, Polyolefins (PO), Industrial coatings and Water-based decorative coatings are listed for evaluation.
Selection focus
At equal loading, compare shade, tinting strength, dispersion and resin or binder compatibility, then confirm the required fastness under the final process conditions.
