PRODUCT PROFILE
P.Y.74Pigment Yellow 74 — grade profile
Pigment Yellow 74 (P.Y.74) is a monoazo arylide pigment for Printing inks, Coatings & paint 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 180 °C, light fastness 7/8 and oil absorption 35–45 ml/100g. Application-specific heat and fastness entries in the technical table take precedence.
Primary listed fits include Water-based inks, Water-based decorative coatings and Pigment textile printing; Offset inks, PA inks, NC inks and Industrial 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.
