Pigment Red 166

Pigment Red 166 is a very bright red pigment. The color strength of PR166 is not that good, but its hear stability is excellent in polyolefin. In HDPE, its heat resistance can reach 300℃/5min. PR166 also has excellent light fastness and it can reach grade 8 in transparent HDPE. However, its weather fastness is not suitable for the products that need to be outside for long time. it is suitable in the coloring of  polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile, and rubber. It is also recommended for high end industrial coating, package ink and metal decorative ink.
