PRODUCT PROFILE
P.R.48:4Pigment Red 48:4 — grade profile
Pigment Red 48:4 (P.R.48:4) is a monoazo manganese-lake pigment for Plastics & masterbatch and Coatings & paint. 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 200 °C, light fastness 7/8 and oil absorption 45–55 ml/100g. Application-specific heat and fastness entries in the technical table take precedence.
Primary listed fits include Industrial coatings and Powder coatings; PVC, Polyolefins (PO) and Solvent-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.
