Pigment Yellow 53

Pigment Yellow 53(Nickel Titanate Yellow) is also named greenish Titanate Yellow, it is regarded as a non-toxic environmental pigments. It has excellent light-fastness, weather resistant, acid resistance, alkali resistance, easy dispersed, non-bleeding, non-migration, high hiding powder.

Key properties

• Appearance: bright primrose to golden yellow, moderate to high tinting strength.
• High heat resistance: stable well above typical polymer processing temperatures (melting/structure stability >1000°C reported).
• Excellent lightfastness and outdoor weatherability (suitable for exterior coatings and signage).
• Good chemical resistance and inertness — low solubility and low leaching tendency of metal ions in finished formulations.
• High hiding power / opacity — good covering in paints and plastics.
• Non-bleeding and non-migratory when properly dispersed.
• Easy to disperse with normal inorganic pigment milling procedures; mean particle sizes commonly ~1–3 µm (product dependent).
• Generally compatible with a wide range of resin systems (PV, PE, PP, engineering plastics) when properly surface-treated or selected.

Application

It can be use for Heat-resistant coatings, weather-resistant coatings, fluorocarbon coatings, powder coatings, out-door architectural coatings, toy plastics, ink, ceramics, grass and electrical materials.

Is Pigment Yellow 53 suitable for outdoor exposure?

PY53 offers moderate to good lightfastness; for long-term outdoor exposure choose higher-grade, lightfast-treated versions or use UV-stabilizers in the formulation.

Which application methods work best with PY53?

PY53 disperses well in solvent-based inks, waterborne coatings and thermoplastics. Adjust dispersant type and milling to target particle size for inks vs. plastics.

How should I disperse PY53 in PVC or polyethylene?

Pre-wet the pigment with a compatible dispersant, use high-shear mixing or a three-roll mill, and target a consistent grind to avoid specking during extrusion or molding.

What are close substitutes for PY53 if I need improved lightfastness?

Consider higher-performance diarylide variants or inorganic yellow pigments (for greater permanence), but test for color shift, compatibility and processing differences first.
