DCL-PY.169-02
New Red Shade Yellow for Plastics
Pigment Yellow 169 is a new metal-azo pigment, developed by DCL to fill a unique gap: low cost, red-shade yellow for plastics with excellent dispersibility. This is a new chemistry in the market for the plastics sector. It is heavy metal free, DCB free and low PAA, making it a great choice for eco-tox and indirect food contact AP(89)1 and Mercosur applications.
Shade Comparison
PY.169 is the reddest shade Calcium Azo Yellow, with performance similar to PY.62. It has a similar shade to Diarylide PY.83, Isoindoline PY.139, Benzimidazolone PY.181 and Isoindoline PY.110, at a fraction of the cost.
The following chart shows the comparison of PY.169 in masstone with other yellow pigments in LDPE.

RAL Shade Matching: Is the Lowest Cost Formula Always Better?
DCL’s Zeki Acar, Application Specialist and Business Development Manager, will be presenting on RAL Colours at the Paint & Coatings Conference in Milan, October 25-26, 2022. His presentation will take place on October 25th, from 2:20-2:40 in Arena 4.
Abstract: In this lecture the pigmentation possibilities of the RAL colours 1023 Traffic Yellow, 2004 Traffic Orange, 3020 Traffic Red will be shown, also using a classic lead pigmentation as a reference. For industrial applications, different pigments and pigmentations will be compared in terms of material costs, opacity and long-term outdoor durability to show the long-term costs of colour maintenance.
This study is ultimately intended to raise awareness among paint manufacturers that the supposedly cheap pigments on a per kilo basis may prove to be less cost-efficient than the expensive pigments in the long run.
