PRODUCT PROFILE
P.Y.3Pigment Yellow 3 — grade profile
Pigment Yellow 3 (P.Y.3) is a monoazo arylide pigment for Coatings & paint, Printing inks and Textiles & fibers. 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 160 °C, light fastness 7/8 and oil absorption 30–40 ml/100g. Application-specific heat and fastness entries in the technical table take precedence.
Primary listed fits include Industrial coatings, Water-based decorative coatings, Pigment textile printing and Water-based inks; Offset inks and NC inks 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.
