Pigment Red 176
Pigment Red 176 is a benzimidazolone red used in printing inks, coatings and plastics. Its grade range includes applications where migration behavior is a key selection criterion, such as PVC and polyolefin coloration. Migration claims should be tied to the actual resin and test conditions.

PRODUCT PROFILE
P.R.176Pigment Red 176 — grade profile
Pigment Red 176 (P.R.176) 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 280 °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), ABS, General coatings screening and General printing-ink screening; PET and PP fiber 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.
