About Permanent Yellow GR (PY13)
Permanent Yellow GR (PY13) is a synthetic azo pigment characterized by its vibrant yellow color and chemical formula C17H15N3O4S. It is supplied as a fine yellow powder, designed for industrial applications requiring stable and intense coloration. This pigment exhibits high heat stability, maintaining color integrity at processing temperatures up to 220°C, making it suitable for thermoplastic processing. Finstar supplies Permanent Yellow GR in packaged forms including 25 kg bags or drums, with bulk orders available on request. When considering procurement, buyers should note that the pigment is incompatible with strong acids, which can degrade its chromophoric structure, and it requires storage in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment to prevent agglomeration or degradation. Typical dosing rates for coloring plastics range from 0.5% to 3% by weight, depending on the desired shade intensity and polymer type.
Why Permanent Yellow GR (PY13) Matters
Industrial manufacturers rely on reliable pigments like Permanent Yellow GR to achieve consistent product appearance across batches. The pigment's heat resistance ensures that products formed through high-temperature processes such as extrusion or molding retain their color without fading or chemical breakdown. Using Permanent Yellow GR enhances product durability by resisting migration and chemical interactions in finished goods, resulting in improved longevity of color in plastics, coatings, textiles, and inks. This stability reduces production downtime and waste related to inconsistent coloring, improving overall manufacturing efficiency.
