In plastics and polymer compounding, Pigment Red 112 delivers strong red hues with good heat stability, dispersing into polymer matrices to achieve uniform coloration. It is also used in solvent- and water-based printing inks for packaging, where its wetting behaviour supports stable pigment dispersion and consistent print density across high-speed press runs.

Pigment Red 112 is supplied as a dry powder and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. Buyers should verify supplier Safety Data Sheets for classification under CLP Regulation. Standard packaging formats include fibre drums and multi-wall paper sacks.
