Pigment yellow 17

Pigment Yellow 17 (CAS 4531-49-1), also identified commercially as C.I. Pigment Yellow 17, is a disazo organic pigment delivering a clean, greenish-yellow hue with reliable opacity and tinting strength. It is used across industrial colorant systems where consistent batch-to-batch color performance and substrate compatibility are priorities for formulators and procurement teams in the chemical sector.

In architectural and industrial coatings, it provides strong hiding power and UV stability suitable for exterior and interior paint formulations. Plastic compounders incorporate it into polyolefins and PVC. This allows manufacturers to achieve uniform yellow shades in consumer goods, packaging films, and automotive interior components. Printing ink manufacturers rely on it for offset, flexographic, and gravure inks.

Color consistency across high-volume print runs is critical for these applications. Textile and paper colorant producers also use it in surface coatings and specialty papers requiring a bright yellow tone. Pigment Yellow 17 is supplied as a dry powder, with press cake forms available for certain ink and coating applications. Standard grades include technical and industrial-grade specifications for various uses.

Particle size and dispersibility profiles are often tailored to the end-use substrate. Buyers should confirm grade suitability, particularly oil absorption and heat resistance ratings, against processing conditions.
