Pigment Red 104 (C.I. 77605) is an inorganic pigment belonging to the molybdate chromate pigment group, commonly known as Molybdate Red or Molybdate Orange. It is composed mainly of lead chromate, lead sulfate, and lead molybdate compounds, producing a bright orange-red to reddish-orange shade.
This pigment has historically been used in industrial coloration systems requiring high opacity and vivid color visibility. Due to its inorganic composition, Pigment Red 104 provides relatively good thermal stability and hiding power compared with many organic pigments.
However, because the pigment contains lead compounds, its use has become restricted or regulated in many countries, particularly in consumer products. As a result, its application today is mainly limited to specific industrial sectors where regulatory requirements permit its use.

High hiding power in coatings and other formulations.
Heat resistance
Good thermal stability due to inorganic pigment structure.
Weather resistance
Suitable for certain outdoor coating applications.
Chemical resistance
Stable under many environmental conditions depending on formulation.
Pigment Red 104 offers several characteristics typical of molybdate chromate pigments:
Bright and highly visible orange-red color
High opacity and hiding power
Good heat stability
Suitable for certain industrial coating applications
Stable inorganic pigment structure
Pigment Red 104 may present several limitations depending on regulatory and environmental requirements.
Typical limitations include:
Contains lead compounds, which are regulated in many regions
Use may be restricted in consumer products and environmentally sensitive applications
Increasing replacement by alternative pigment technologies in some markets
When selecting Pigment Red 104 for industrial applications, several factors are usually considered:
Regulatory compliance requirements in the target market
Environmental and safety regulations concerning lead-containing pigments
Required opacity and brightness of color
Compatibility with coating or polymer systems
In some applications, lead-free pigments may be selected as alternatives depending on regulatory requirements.
Pigment Red 104 has historically been produced by inorganic pigment manufacturers worldwide and is generally supplied as a powder pigment for industrial coating systems and specialized applications where its use is permitted.
Different commercial grades may vary in particle size distribution, molybdate content, and color shade depending on manufacturing processes.
