1.Product Description
Pigment Red 53:1 (P.R. 53:1) is a high-performance azo-based calcium salt lake organic pigment, specialized in delivering bright yellowish red (vivid scarlet) coloration for industrial applications with excellent solvent resistance and water-based compatibility—distinguishing itself from Pigment Red 48 series (strontium/barium salt) with its more intense hue and superior adaptability to water-based systems. Unlike ordinary red pigments that have poor solvent resistance or are incompatible with water-based formulations, our P.R. 53:1 features a precision diazotization-coupling and calcium salinization process, delivering three core advantages: a bright vivid yellowish red hue, excellent solvent resistance, and good water-based dispersion—solving manufacturers’ pain points of color bleeding in solvent-based systems, poor compatibility with water-based inks/paints, and dull coloration.
Crafted with advanced low-temperature diazotization, coupling technology and high-purity calcium salinization purification process, Pigment Red 53:1 boasts a uniform fine powder particle structure (0.17–0.24 μm), a pH value of 6.5-8.0 (10% slurry), and optimized dispersion performance, ensuring seamless integration into solvent-based/water-based inks, plastic melts, and water-based paint formulations. Its distinct bright yellowish red hue is more intense and vibrant than the 48 series pigments, offering strong visual impact and product differentiation. Additionally, it is 100% compliant with REACH, RoHS, EINECS 225-935-3, non-toxic, heavy metal-free, and suitable for diverse high-end industrial applications, including high-gloss packaging printing and water-based wood paints.
Engineered for long-term reliability, Pigment Red 53:1 boasts Grade 4-5 light fastness and thermal stability up to 180℃ (short-term processing), retaining its bright yellowish red hue even after moderate outdoor exposure and high-temperature processing. Its excellent solvent resistance (resistant to esters, xylene, ketones, and common organic solvents) effectively prevents color bleeding in solvent-based inks and plastics, while its good water-based dispersion makes it suitable for water-based formulations—an advantage not available in most 48 series pigments. With broad compatibility (solvent-based/water-based/plastics), high tinting strength, and vibrant coloration, it is a versatile solution for ink, plastic, and paint industries, delivering consistent, high-performance yellowish red results.

3.Product Application
Pigment Red 53:1 is a high-performance organic pigment, tailored to meet the specific needs of printing ink, plastic, paint, and stationery industries with its bright yellowish red hue, excellent solvent resistance, and good water-based 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 Printing Inks (Core Application)
Pigment Red 53:1 is the preferred choice for solvent-based and water-based printing inks, widely used in high-gloss packaging printing, labels, magazines, and textile printing. Its excellent dispersion capability ensures smooth ink flow, eliminating sedimentation even in high-speed printing, and it can be well combined with nitrocellulose, acrylic, and water-based resin systems. Compared to 48 series pigments, it offers a more intense bright yellowish red hue, delivering sharp, vivid prints with high gloss, enhancing packaging and publication aesthetics. Its excellent solvent resistance prevents color bleeding in solvent-based inks, while good water-based dispersion makes it suitable for eco-friendly water-based inks. With high tinting strength and reliable color stability, it is a reliable choice for high-end printing applications.
3.2 Plastic Coloring
Suitable for plastic coloring, including PVC (soft and hard), PE, and PP plastics, Pigment Red 53:1 features good compatibility with plastic melt formulations, ensuring uniform dispersion during injection molding and extrusion, eliminating streaking or color unevenness. Its bright yellowish red hue adds vivid visual appeal to plastic products, making it ideal for plastic parts, PVC products, and plastic stationery. With high tinting strength, only 1.0% loading is needed to achieve standard color depth, reducing raw material costs. It has good migration resistance in soft PVC applications, avoiding color bleeding, and its thermal stability (stable below 180℃) meets the processing requirements of most plastic products, ensuring consistent color retention.
3.3 Industrial Paints
Applicable to industrial paints, especially water-based wood paints, metal protective paints, and decorative coatings, Pigment Red 53:1 features good compatibility with water-based and solvent-based paint formulations. Its good water-based dispersion ensures uniform color and good coverage in water-based paints, meeting eco-friendly coating requirements. The bright yellowish red hue delivers an eye-catching finish, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of painted products. Its excellent solvent resistance and light fastness prevent color fading and peeling, ensuring long-term durability of the paint film. Non-toxic and eco-friendly, it complies with global paint safety standards, making it suitable for interior and exterior decorative paints.
3.4 Stationery & Textile Printing
Pigment Red 53:1 is suitable for stationery coloring (color pencils, crayons, markers) and textile printing (cotton, polyester fabrics). In stationery, it features good color fastness, resisting fading and smudging, making it ideal for high-quality color pencils and crayons. Its bright yellowish red hue is popular among consumers, enhancing product market competitiveness. In textile printing, it delivers excellent wash fastness and rub fastness, retaining its vivid hue even after repeated laundering. Additionally, it can be blended with other pigments to create custom red shades, expanding its application scope. Its versatility and reliable performance make it a preferred choice for stationery and textile manufacturers.
