Pigment Red 254
Pigment Red 254 belongs to the diketopyrrolopyrrole, or DPP, pigment family and provides a strong red color position. Commercial grades serve automotive and industrial coatings, plastics and inks. Both transparent and opaque grades exist, so hiding power cannot be inferred from the Color Index alone.

PRODUCT PROFILE
P.R.254Pigment Red 254 — grade profile
Pigment Red 254 (P.R.254) is a diketopyrrolopyrrole (dpp) 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 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), PET, ABS and General coatings screening; PP fiber and PET 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.
