1.Product Description
Pigment Yellow 13 (P.Y. 13) is an innovative high-performance diarylide organic pigment, redefined for modern industrial needs with its unique green-shaded yellow hue—setting it apart from red-shaded P.Y.14 and gold-shaded P.Y.17. Unlike ordinary yellow pigments that compromise color clarity for dispersion or stability, our P.Y.13 features a proprietary 2,2'-dinitro-4,4'-dichlorobiphenyl core linked by azo groups, delivering three client-centric advantages: a vivid, cool green undertone, instant dispersion capability, and 100% eco-compliance—solving manufacturers’ pain points of color uniformity, cost efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Crafted with advanced low-temperature crystal modification technology, our Pigment Yellow 13 eliminates common issues of clumping, color streaking, and surface defects that plague traditional diarylide pigments. Its ultra-fine particle size (0.06–0.11 μm) ensures seamless integration into solvent-based, aqueous, and plastic melt formulations, even in high-speed processing—delivering a pure, luminous green-shaded yellow with exceptional color saturation. What makes it stand out is its cost-saving edge: it requires 22% less loading than conventional P.Y.13 variants to achieve full color coverage, directly reducing raw material costs, while being fully REACH, RoHS, and FDA compliant—safe for food-contact packaging, cosmetics, and children’s products.
Engineered for long-term reliability, Pigment Yellow 13 boasts Grade 6–7 lightfastness and thermal stability up to 220°C, retaining its vivid green-shaded hue even after prolonged UV exposure and high-temperature processing. Its low migration property ensures color consistency in end products, from automotive coatings to plastic toys, while its broad compatibility makes it a versatile one-stop solution for diverse industries. Whether elevating food packaging appeal, creating premium automotive finishes, or producing vibrant textile prints, our P.Y.13 delivers consistent, eye-catching results that set your products apart—combining innovation, sustainability, and cost-efficiency in one high-performance pigment.

3.Product Application
Pigment Yellow 13 is a versatile, high-value organic pigment, tailored to meet the specific needs of diverse industries with its unique green-shaded yellow hue and exceptional performance. Below is its detailed application by industry, each section focused on client benefits and practical use cases:
3.1 Printing Inks
Pigment Yellow 13 is a top choice for high-end solvent-based and aqueous printing inks, including offset, gravure, digital, and screen printing. Its instant dispersion capability eliminates clumping and color unevenness, ensuring smooth ink flow even in high-speed printing (up to 650m/min). The green-shaded yellow hue delivers sharp, vivid prints with excellent color clarity, making it ideal for luxury packaging, retail signage, and promotional materials. With 22% lower loading than conventional P.Y.13, it reduces ink formulation costs, while its Grade 6–7 lightfastness ensures prints retain their vibrancy for years, even under outdoor exposure or frequent handling.
3.2 Automotive & Industrial Coatings
Perfect for automotive basecoats, architectural coatings, and metal coatings, Pigment Yellow 13 offers excellent compatibility with solvent-based and water-based coating systems. Its thermal stability up to 220°C ensures consistent color during curing, while its chemical resistance prevents fading, chalking, and corrosion—even in harsh outdoor or industrial environments. The green-shaded yellow adds a cool, premium aesthetic to automotive finishes, complementing metallic additives to create multi-dimensional looks that stand out in the luxury vehicle market. It also meets automotive industry standards for durability, ensuring long-lasting color retention on vehicle exteriors and interior trims.
3.3 Plastics & Food-Contact Packaging
Suitable for engineering plastics (PP, PE, PVC, ABS) and food-contact packaging, Pigment Yellow 13 is FDA and REACH compliant, non-toxic, and low-migration. Its ultra-fine particle size ensures uniform color distribution during injection molding and extrusion, eliminating streaking or color unevenness. For food containers, snack boxes, and children’s plastic toys, its safe, green-shaded yellow hue enhances product appeal without compromising consumer safety. The 22% lower loading requirement also cuts plastic formulation costs, making it a cost-effective choice for high-volume production.
3.4 Textiles & Decorative Colorants
Applicable to water-based and solvent-based textile printing pastes for cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics, Pigment Yellow 13 delivers excellent wash fastness (up to 50+ washes) and rub fastness, retaining its green-shaded yellow hue even after repeated laundering. It is also suitable for high-end art supplies (acrylic paints, colored pencils) and decorative colorants (ceramic glazes, candle wax), offering a blendable, luminous tone that appeals to professional artists and hobbyists. Its eco-friendly formulation makes it safe for children’s textile products and decorative items.
