Organic red pigments

Organic red pigments are used to obtain clean, intense, and durable shades in paints and coatings, plastics, PVC, rubber, printing inks, and polymer masterbatches. They provide high color saturation, precise shade control, and long-lasting coloration, which is especially important for products exposed to various aggressive climatic conditions.

These materials allow the creation of expressive and deep tones — from bright scarlet and carmine to dark red and cherry-red shades. They are suitable for both decorative coatings and industrial systems where color stability and resistance to thermal and mechanical stress are essential.

Main types of organic red pigments

Organic red pigments differ in chemical structure, resistance to external influences, and behavior in various binder systems. The choice of a specific pigment depends on shade requirements, processing technology, and operating conditions of the finished product.

Classic red pigments

Pigment Red 2 (PR 2), Pigment Red 3 (PR 3), Pigment Red 4 (PR 4), Pigment Red 48:1 (PR 48:1) — bright and clean colors with easy dispersibility. Used in alkyd, water-based, and printing inks.

Pigments for plastics and rubber

Pigment Red 53:1 (PR 53:1), Pigment Red 57:1 (PR 57:1), Pigment Red 48:2 (PR 48:2) — durable shades with low migration and stable coloration at high processing temperatures. Used for coloring plastics, rubber, and polymer masterbatches.

High-performance red pigments

Pigment Red 112 (PR 112) — an intense red pigment for industrial coatings, powder coatings, and plastic compounds.

Pigment Red 122 (PR 122) — a quinacridone pigment with high lightfastness and thermal stability; used in automotive and architectural coatings.

Pigment Red 170 (PR 170) — a modern red pigment with a cherry-red shade, resistant to external influences; suitable for coatings, plastics, and printing inks.

Selection of red pigment

• binder type;
• processing temperature;
• lightfastness requirements;
• operating conditions of the finished product;
• need to minimize migration and shade change.

Our product range includes red pigments — from yellowish-red to ruby (magenta) shades — enabling precise shade selection for specific technologies, binder types, and coloration requirements with guaranteed quality and consistent performance.
