Pigment Yellow 74

● Pigment yellow 74 is an azo yellow pigment that produces a strong yellow-green hue, particularly useful in applications where a vivid yellow is required. PY12 typically exhibits a yellow with a reddish hue, while PY13 provides a more neutral yellow hue. These hue differences influence the choice of pigment for a specific application.
● PY74 has good dispersibility and color strength, which allows it to be used in a wide range of applications, such as inks, coatings, plastics, and textile printing.
● Pigment yellow 74 has moderate lightfastness and resists some fading, although it may not be as durable as some other yellow pigments, such as Pigment Yellow 83 (PY83), under extreme conditions. However, PY83 is often used in outdoor applications, while PY74 is more suitable for indoor or less demanding environments.
● PY74 has moderate heat resistance, making it suitable for some plastic and coating applications that do not involve high temperatures. If you need higher heat resistance, pigment suppliers recommend PY83.
● Pigment yellow 74 is relatively low cost and widely available, so it is widely used in many industries. Other yellow pigments may be more expensive or have a narrower range of uses due to their specific properties.
