What is Pigment Red 57:1

Pigment Red 57:1 (C.I. 15850:1) is an organic azo pigment belonging to the BONA (β-oxynaphthoic acid) pigment class. It is the calcium salt form of Pigment Red 57 and typically produces a bluish-red shade.

The pigment is synthesized through an azo coupling reaction followed by conversion into a metal salt form. This process results in an insoluble pigment with improved stability compared with the free acid form. Pigment Red 57:1 is widely used in industrial coloration systems due to its balanced color properties and established pigment chemistry.

Because of its color tone and compatibility with many binder systems, Pigment Red 57:1 has historically been applied in coatings, printing inks, plastics, and other materials where a red pigment is required.
