y G-87 P.R.2 Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and typical application domain for y G-87 P.R.2 Pigment?

A: y G-87 P.R.2 Pigment is an organic azo-based red pigment, classified under Pigment Red 2. It is widely used in industrial coatings, printing inks, and plastics where high tinting strength and good lightfastness are required.


Q2: Is y G-87 P.R.2 suitable for food-contact or pharmaceutical applications?

A: No — y G-87 P.R.2 is not certified for direct food-contact or pharmaceutical use. It is intended for general industrial applications and does not meet regulatory requirements for substances intended for ingestion or parenteral exposure.


Q3: How does y G-87 P.R.2 perform in terms of heat stability and dispersion behavior?

A: This pigment exhibits moderate thermal stability, suitable for standard extrusion and injection molding processes below 200 °C. It disperses readily in polar organic media and common polymer matrices with appropriate wetting agents, though optimal dispersion requires formulation-specific milling or compounding protocols.


Q4: What are the recommended handling and storage conditions?

A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent dust formation and avoid inhalation of fine particles during handling. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including respirators and gloves, as with any fine particulate pigment.
