PRODUCT PROFILE
P.Y.174Pigment Yellow 174 — grade profile
Pigment Yellow 174 (P.Y.174) is a diarylide disazo pigment for Plastics & masterbatch and Printing inks. 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 180 °C, light fastness 6/8, oil absorption 40–50 g/100g and migration resistance 3–4/5. Application-specific heat and fastness entries in the technical table take precedence.
Primary listed fits include Offset inks and UV inks; PVC and Polyolefins (PO) 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.
