Pigment red 104

Pigment Red 104 (CAS 12656-85-8), also known as lead chromate molybdate sulphate red or C.I. 77605, is an inorganic red pigment delivering intense, heat-stable coloration across demanding industrial applications. Its opacity and lightfastness make it a benchmark choice where organic pigments cannot meet performance requirements. In industrial coatings and powder coatings, it produces vivid red-orange finishes on metal substrates.

These applications are ideal where UV resistance and thermal stability are critical. Plastics processors incorporate it into PVC, polyolefins, and engineering polymers requiring color consistency through high-temperature compounding. Printing inks for packaging and industrial graphics rely on it for strong tinting strength and batch-to-batch color reproducibility. Construction materials, including traffic paints, use it for long-term exterior durability.

Architectural coatings also utilize this pigment where hiding power is a primary specification criterion. The material is supplied as a dry powder, typically in fine-milled form optimized for dispersion in various systems. It is compatible with solvent-borne, water-borne, and resin-based systems. Standard commercial grades are available for coatings, plastics, and printing ink applications, with particle size and surface treatment varying by end-use.

Bulk and packaged supply options are standard across the market for industrial buyers. This ensures reliable sourcing for large-scale manufacturing and specialized chemical processing requirements across global regions.
