Pigment Red 8

Pigment Red 8(Permanent Red F4R) is a pure blue red pigment powder. It has bright shade and high tinting strength. It is mainly applied in coloring of water based inks and water-based printing pastes. The transparent type may recrystallize in packaging printing inks and this affects the transparency and color power. But PR8 is sensitive to sterilization treatment and varnish and its heat resistance is 140℃/30min. This pigment is also used for printing on fabrics that needs low light fastness.

Product Details

Features

Pigment Red 8 is bright red powder with bluish shade. It is easy to be dispersed and has good fastness to bleed.It has good acid resistance but poor alkali resistance. I alkali, it can only keep 20mins at 150 degree. In concentrated sulfuric acid, PR 8 is light yellow red and after dilution, it will become a red precipate.It will become bright and blue red in concentrated nitric acid
