There are total 23 item organic yellow pigments suited for plastics,key features of these plastic red pigments as below,among them, 5 are with mid yellow shade,11 are green shade yellow and 7 are red shade,5 mid shade yellow pigment key features are as below.

S.N.	Product Name	Chemistry	Color Shade	C.I.Index
1	pigment yellow 180	Benzimidazolone	mid shade yellow	C.I.21290
2	pigment yellow 95	Disazo Condensation	mid shade yellow	C.I.20034
3	pigment yellow 183	Monoazo Yellow, Ca	mid shade yellow	C.I.18792

Pigment Yellow 180 is of high tinting strength,High saturation,Excellent heat resistance,unrelated with concentration

Pigment Yellow 183 (transparent) is of Good weather resistance,Good dispersibility, also comply with FDA. PY 183 is more economic and redder than pigment yellow 180 while not suitable for outdoor usage.

Pigment Yellow 62 is of good properties,economic choice,low tinting strength,suited for light color substance coloration

Pigment Yellow 95 is of Good weather resistance,Good dispersibility,comply with FDA,Price higher.Better weather resistance when comparing with pigment yellow 180

Pigment Yellow 13 is of most economic choice,high tinting strength,heat resistance below 200℃.Weather/light resistance goes down,most economic in middle shade yellow pigments

all these 5 plastic middle shade yellow pigment technical position as below

Here we use pigment yellow 180 as the standard mid shade yellow pigment, start from here,when need higher weather resistance,pigment yellow 95 is option which color shade is redder.pigment yellow 62 tinting strength is half of pigment yellow 180, though price is lower while weak tinting strength offset this cost effective effect.To save cost,pigment yellow 13 is a choice,PY13 shows the highest tinting strength,economic in price while common heat resistance and light fastness, limited used due to safety issue.

Pigment Yellow 138 is of High tinting strength,High hiding powder,Excellent color properties,Good heat resistance in full shade,while Poor heat resistance in reduction and limited space in price decrease.

Pigment Yellow 151 is of very pure green shade,Good heat resistance,Poor tinting strength.it shows better heat resistance,more redder,poorer tinting strength compared with pigment yellow 138

Pigment Yellow 109 is of good weather resistance,Poor tinting strength,Higher price.PY 109 exhibits best heat resistance and best weather fastness among these green shade yellow pigments

Pigment Yellow 93 is of high tinting strength,Pure color shade,Good properties,Weather fastness goes down in reduction.PR 93 heat resistance improve and tinting strength decrease from pigment yellow 138

Pigment Yellow 214 is of strong green shade,bright color,high saturation,higher price. PY 214 is more greener and better properties than pigment yellow 138

Pigment Yellow 168 is of low tinting strength,good properties,economic choice. redder than pigment yellow 138 and suitable for outdoor usage

Pigment Yellow 155 is of high tinting strength,excellent light Fastness,Mid weather fastness,poor immigration resistance.PY155 heat resistance goes down compared with PY138, what’s more, user shall pay attention to immigration issue

Pigment Yellow 128 is of excellent weather fastness,good properties and middle range heat resistance.compared with pigment yellow 138, PY 128 heat resistance goes down while weather fastness improve

For more economic while poorest properties choice, there are pigment yellow 14 and pigment yellow 17,

Pigment Yellow 14 is of most economic choice and process below 200℃.

Pigment Yellow 17 is of transparent green shade,most economic green shade yellow pigment for plastic

Pigment Yellow 81 is of most green shade yellow pigment,processing below 200 ℃, PY 81 immigrate below certain concentration, PY 81 is greener and heat resistance goes down from pigment yellow 168

all these 11 plastic green shade yellow pigment technical position as below

Here we use pigment yellow 138 as the standard green shade yellow pigment,start from here,when better weather fastness is needed,pigment yellow 128, pigment yellow 93, pigment yellow 151, pigment yellow 109, PY109 is primary, pigment yellow 128 ranks second and mind the heat resistance, pigment yellow 93 is fine,also mind color shade is red.

PY151 heat resistance and weather fastness is better.while tinting strength is lower.To save cost,pigment yellow 155 is an option, mind the immigration issue when using it,to further save cost,pigment yellow 168 which is a wise choice, also pigment yellow 17 pigment yellow 14, pigment yellow 81,these are the most cost effective, while mind the Dichloro benzidine safety issue, process temperature below 200℃,plus immigration issue of pigment yellow 14

Pigment Yellow 191,Pigment Yellow 191:1,Pigment Yellow 183 shows lower tinting strength,excellent heat resistance,excellent light fastness.there are more economic with same properties

Pigment Yellow 110 is of good properties,Poor tinting strength,Poor saturation,Best light resistance,best weather fastness.Best weather fastness and Most red shade

Pigment Yellow 83 is of most economic choice,Heat resistance below 200℃,Immigration in low concentration. comparing with pigment yellow 139, PY 83 tinting strength get higher and properties get lower

all these 7 plastic red shade yellow pigment technical position as below

Here we use pigment yellow 139 as the standard red shade yellow pigment,start from here,there are various pigment in red shade yellow pigment zone. If user need high heat resistance and better weather fastness, pigment yellow 181 is an option which excellent heat resistance in low concentration,

PY181 exhibit low tinting strength and high in price,low saturation after reduction.

Pigment yellow 110 is redder,better heat resistance and weather fastness,even lower in saturation.

To save cost, there are pigment yellow 191 and pigment yellow 183 which both are poor water resistance,PR183 water resistance is better than PR191. While PR191 heat resistance is better than PR183. 

Pigment yellow 83 is of high tinting strength,good saturation and fine heat resistance,it is the first choice to save costs,user shall mind the safety issue of Dichloro benzidine when choosing
