PRODUCT PROFILE
P.Y.168Pigment Yellow 168 — grade profile
Pigment Yellow 168 (P.Y.168) is a monoazo lake pigment for Plastics & masterbatch. 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 240 °C. Application-specific heat and fastness entries in the technical table take precedence.
Primary listed fits include PVC and Polyolefins (PO).
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.
