PRODUCT PROFILE
P.O.36Pigment Orange 36 — grade profile
Pigment Orange 36 (P.O.36) is a benzimidazolone pigment for Plastics & masterbatch, Coatings & paint, Printing inks and Textiles & fibers where processing stability and durability are defined selection criteria. Evaluate the grade in the intended resin or binder at the target loading and process conditions; every value below retains its published source and application context.
Published screening data includes published heat reference 260 °C, light fastness 7–8/8 and oil absorption 45 ml/100g. Application-specific heat and fastness entries in the technical table take precedence.
Primary listed fits include Polyolefins (PO), Industrial coatings, Powder coatings, Water-based decorative coatings, Solvent-based decorative coatings and OEM coatings; PVC, Polystyrene (PS), ABS and Offset inks are listed for evaluation.
Selection focus
At equal loading and dispersion, compare full shade, tint, transparency or opacity, heat stability, migration and the intended exposure conditions.
