Pigment red 170

Pigment Red 170 (CAS 2786-76-7), also sold under trade names such as Permanent Red F 3RK70 and Sunbrite Red 170, is a high-performance azo pigment delivering a clean, saturated red shade.

This pigment is used across a broad range of industrial colorant applications. Its strong tinting strength and resistance to migration make it a preferred red pigment for demanding end-use markets.

In coatings and industrial paints, it provides excellent lightfastness and weather resistance. This supports exterior architectural and automotive refinish formulations where durability is a primary requirement.

Printing ink manufacturers use it in packaging inks where color intensity and resistance to overprint varnishes are critical. It ensures that the final printed product maintains its visual appeal.

Plastics processors incorporate it into polyolefin and PVC compounds for consumer goods and packaging film. It is ideal for molded parts requiring stable, heat-resistant coloration during processing.

In textile and paper applications, it is used to produce vivid red shades in surface coatings. It is also a key component in pigment printing pastes for various fabric types and finishes.

The product is supplied as a dry powder, with press cake forms available for certain ink and coating applications. Standard commercial grades vary in particle size distribution and surface treatment.

These variations suit solvent-borne, water-borne, or plastics end uses. Technical-grade material is the predominant market offering, with specialty dispersions available for specific formulation requirements.
