Pigment Yellow 164

Pigment Yellow 164 - Manganese Titanium Brown is a Manganese Antimony Titanate Brown pigment with high tinting strength. It is one of the best weathering Brown pigments known. It has excellent chemical resistance, outdoor durability, light-fastness, heat stability and is non-bleeding and non migratory. Suggested applications include RPVC, Polyolefins, Engineering Resins, Paints and Coatings including General Industrial, Coil and Extrusion coatings, etc.

Key features

  • Excellent lightfastness and weather resistance — retains color in outdoor exposure.
  • High thermal stability — withstands demanding processing and elevated temperatures.
  • Strong chemical and solvent resistance — non-bleeding and non-migratory in formulations.
  • High tinting strength and good hiding/opacity for efficient color build.
  • Good dispersion and compatibility with most resin systems (PVC, polyolefins, engineering plastics).
  • Dimensional stability — low tendency to cause warping or shrinkage in molded parts.
  • Suitable for high-performance coatings, powder coatings, engineering plastics and inks.

FAQ

How should I disperse Pigment Yellow 164 to maximize color strength and minimize specking?

Use high-shear dispersion methods recommended for inorganic pigments (e.g., ball milling or high-speed dissolvers) with appropriate dispersing agents for the target resin. Monitor particle size (D50) and oil absorption — testing small production runs is advised to dial in dispersant and milling time. Supplier TDS often lists recommended carriers and oil absorption values. 

Is PY164 safe and compliant with common regulations for coatings and plastics?

PY164 is widely supplied for industrial uses and many vendors publish compliance options (e.g., REACH, FDA inquiries for food contact suitability where applicable). Always request the supplier’s regulatory/compliance documentation and certificates for your intended market and application. 

Will PY164 cause migration or affect polymer mechanical properties (warping, shrinkage)?

PY164 is described by manufacturers as non-migratory and dimensionally stable; it is specifically selected for applications where low migration and minimal warping are needed (e.g., RPVC, polyolefins, engineered resins). Still, do final part testing (weathering, heat aging, mechanical tests) under your process conditions.
