PRODUCT DETAILS
Pigment Red 170 (PR170)
Synonyms: Naphthol Red, Permanent Red F3RK, Permanent Red F5RK, Permanent Red Brown HFMC.I. Number: 12475 CAS Number: 2786-76-7 EINECS Number: 220-509-3
Basic Information
Chemical Class: Monoazo organic pigment (Azo-S-derivative / Naphthol Red series)
Molecular Formula: C₂₆H₂₂N₄O₄
Molecular Weight: 454.48
Appearance: Bright red powder
Hue: Available in two crystal forms — F3RK (high opacity) is neutral / slightly yellowish red; F5RK (transparent) is bluish red, with a rich, highly saturated hue
Physical and Chemical Properties
Relative Density: 1.30–1.50
Average Particle Size: 200–300 nm
Specific Surface Area: 20–40 m²/g
Oil Absorption: 30–55 g/100 g
Solubility: Insoluble in water, ethanol, toluene, and most organic solvents
Chemical Properties:
Appears blue-red in concentrated sulfuric acid; forms a red precipitate upon dilution
Good acid and alkali resistance (Grade 4–5)
Melting point: approx. 315–325°C
Performance Characteristics
Tinting strength: High; the transparent type (F5RK) offers superior tinting strength
Lightfastness: F3RK (high opacity) – 7 on the natural color scale, 6 when diluted; F5RK (transparent) – 6 on the natural color scale, with excellent outdoor durability
Heat Resistance: Stable at 180–200°C; F5RK withstands 200°C for 10 minutes; suitable for conventional coatings, inks, and plastic processing
Solvent Resistance / Migration Resistance: F3RK exhibits greater solvent stability; prone to migration in soft PVC; suitable for hard PVC, PP, and PE
Dispersibility: Excellent; disperses easily in water-based, oil-based, and powder systems; good flow properties
Hiding Power / Transparency: F3RK offers high hiding power and is opaque; F5RK is semi-transparent to highly transparent
Major Applications
Coatings: F3RK is the primary choice, used in high-end industrial coatings, automotive coatings, powder coatings, and exterior wall coatings; can be blended with molybdenum-chromium orange and quinacridone pigments; good recoatability
Inks: F5RK is the primary choice, used in solvent-based gravure inks, water-based inks, and metallic decorative inks; offers high transparency and high tinting strength
Plastics: F3RK is suitable for coloring PP, PE, rigid PVC, and polyacrylonitrile pulp; use with caution on flexible PVC (prone to migration)
Other: Textile printing, wood staining, viscose fibers, and art and educational supplies (watercolors, oil paints)
