PRODUCT PROFILE
P.R.149Pigment Red 149 — grade profile
Pigment Red 149 (P.R.149) is a perylene pigment for Plastics & masterbatch, Coatings & paint and Printing inks 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 340 °C and light fastness 8/8. Application-specific heat and fastness entries in the technical table take precedence.
Primary listed fits include PVC, Polyolefins (PO), Polystyrene (PS), PET, ABS and PP fiber.
Selection focus
At equal loading and dispersion, compare full shade, tint, transparency or opacity, heat stability, migration and the intended exposure conditions.
