1.Product Description
Pigment Red 122 (P.R. 122) is an innovative high-end quinacridone organic pigment, redefining premium industrial coloring with its vivid magenta-red hue—blending vitality and sophistication, which perfectly aligns with the global trend of high-end color aesthetics. Unlike traditional azo red pigments (e.g., P.R. 112) with limited color saturation or lake-type pigments (P.R. 57:1) with poor durability, our P.R. 122 features a proprietary quinacridone core synthesis and molecular modification technology, delivering three client-centric advantages: a vibrant, uniform magenta-red hue, ultra-high light fastness (Grade 8), and seamless compatibility with both solvent-based and water-based formulations—solving manufacturers’ pain points of dull color, easy fading, and poor formulation adaptability.
Crafted with advanced low-temperature precision synthesis and multi-stage purification technology, Pigment Red 122 boasts a uniform ultra-fine particle structure (specific surface area of 22 m²/g) that ensures excellent dispersion, eliminating agglomeration and sedimentation in various formulations, greatly reducing production waste and improving coloring efficiency. Its 100% compliance with REACH, RoHS, and EINECS 213-661-3 standards (non-toxic, heavy metal-free, no harmful additives) adds an extra layer of value, making it suitable for high-end consumer-facing products and eco-friendly industrial applications. What truly differentiates it is its superior durability—Grade 8 light fastness, which is 1-2 grades higher than traditional red pigments, ensuring long-term color stability even under harsh outdoor conditions.
Engineered for long-term reliability, P.R. 122 boasts Grade 8 light fastness, with colored products retaining their vivid magenta hue for more than 8 years under outdoor exposure, even when mixed with titanium dioxide for light color matching. It has excellent thermal stability (stable up to 240℃ for long-term processing), water resistance, oil resistance, and acid-alkali resistance (Grade 5), preventing color bleeding and fading in diverse industrial applications. With strong tinting strength and high color saturation, only 12-15% loading is needed to achieve standard color depth, significantly reducing raw material costs. It’s not just a red pigment—it’s a premium, safety-compliant solution to elevate the aesthetics and durability of your high-end products, helping you gain a competitive edge in the market.

3.Product Application
Pigment Red 122 is a high-end, versatile quinacridone organic pigment, tailored to meet the specific needs of premium industrial sectors with its vivid magenta-red hue, ultra-high light fastness, and multi-system compatibility. Below is its detailed application by industry, each section focused on client benefits and practical use cases, with each paragraph not exceeding 500 words:
3.1 High-End Printing Inks
Pigment Red 122 is the preferred choice for high-end solvent-based and water-based printing inks, including offset printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, and digital printing. Its excellent dispersion capability ensures smooth ink flow, eliminating sedimentation and clumping even in high-speed printing (up to 800m/min), reducing production downtime and waste. With strong tinting strength and high color saturation, only 12-15% loading is needed to achieve standard color depth, significantly cutting ink formulation costs. The vivid magenta-red hue delivers sharp, vibrant prints with excellent color clarity, making it ideal for luxury packaging, high-end magazines, and brand labels. Its Grade 8 lightfastness ensures prints retain their vibrancy for years, even under outdoor exposure or frequent handling, avoiding the need for reprinting due to fading.
3.2 Automotive Coatings
Ideal for high-grade automotive coatings, including base coats, top coats, and decorative coatings, Pigment Red 122 offers excellent compatibility with various automotive resin systems (acrylic, polyurethane). Its uniform dispersion ensures even color distribution, creating a smooth, glossy finish without visible pigment particles. Its thermal stability up to 240℃ ensures consistent color during coating curing, while its acid-alkali resistance (Grade 5) prevents fading or discoloration from environmental pollutants, chemicals, and UV radiation. The vivid magenta-red hue adds a premium, eye-catching touch to automotive exteriors and interiors, combining aesthetics and long-term durability—perfect for luxury and high-performance vehicles.
3.3 Engineering Plastics Coloring
