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.

Where is Pigment red 104 used?

• Industrial and powder coatings: vivid red-orange finishes on metal substrates
• Plastics: color consistency in PVC, polyolefins and engineering polymers through high-temperature compounding
• Printing inks: strong tinting strength and batch-to-batch color reproducibility for packaging and industrial graphics
• Construction materials such as traffic paints provide long-term exterior durability.
• Architectural coatings serve where hiding power is a primary specification criterion.

Good to know: Its opacity and lightfastness make it a benchmark choice where organic pigments cannot meet performance requirements. Compatible with solvent-borne, water-borne and resin-based systems.

Commercial specifications

• Particle size and surface treatment vary by end-use
• Bulk and packaged supply options
