Pigment Yellow 184 (Bismuth Vanadate yellow) is an inorganic lead free pigment recommended in applications where high performance is required,due to its very bright shade and high tinting strength.its free ecotoxicological behaviour makes it as a suitable alternative to chrome and cadmium pigments.it exhibits good performance of the resistances to solvents,acids,alkalis and sulfur dioxide.its light fastness and weather resistance are also excellent on full and reduced tones.
It can be use for coil coatings,powder coatings,automotive coating,construction coating,color masterbatch,nylon,etc.

PY184 offers comparable brightness and superior environmental profile (cadmium/chrome-free). It usually provides better weathering and chemical resistance, though exact shade/tinting strength differs by grade—use side-by-side trials for color matches.
Grades vary—some engineered PY184 grades tolerate ≥300°C and are formulated for PA/engineering plastics. Always check the supplier’s heat-resistance spec and test in your specific processing conditions.
Use a well-balanced millbase (appropriate solvent or carrier), high-shear dispersion and a compatible dispersant/wetting agent. Avoid over-grinding; aim for the manufacturer’s recommended particle size distribution.
