Pigment red 176

Pigment Red 176 (CAS 12225-06-8), also identified under C.I. 12515, is a high-performance azo pigment delivering strong red hues with good lightfastness and heat stability.

Where is Pigment red 176 used?

• Plastics and polymers: coloring engineering resins and commodity plastics
• Coatings: industrial and decorative finishes requiring clean, saturated red tones with outdoor durability
• Printing inks: packaging inks where color consistency across high-speed runs is critical
• Textile and paper: dyeing and pigment printing where a bright shade is specified
• It is a preferred colorant where consistent color strength and processing durability are required at commercial scale.

Good to know: Thermal stability during processing is a key selection factor. Particle size distribution and tinting strength specifications vary by grade and should be confirmed.
