Advantages

1. Cost-Effective Vibrancy

Delivers a vivid blue-toned red at a competitive price, balancing color intensity with affordability for large-scale use in plastics, coatings, and inks.

2. Superior Solvent Resistance

Withstands organic solvents (toluene, esters) without bleeding or fading, making it ideal for solvent-based inks, automotive coatings, and plasticized PVC products.

3. Good Light and Weather Fastness

Maintains color stability under moderate UV exposure (lightfastness 6–7), suitable for outdoor applications like signage, agricultural films, and building materials.

4. Heat Stability for Plastic Processing

Resists thermal degradation up to 180–200°C in polyolefins (PP, PE), enabling use in extrusion and injection molding for colored plastic parts.

5. Wide Material Compatibility

Compatible with thermoplastics, solvent/water-based coatings, and printing inks (flexo, gravure), reducing formulation complexity for manufacturers.

6. Regulatory Compliance

Meets basic industry standards for non-food contact applications, though limited heavy metal content makes it suitable for general-purpose products (check regional regulations for food contact use).
