Chrome Yellow application in road marking and coatings

How to Interpret These Specifications

  • Lead Chromate Content (≥ 85%): Higher lead chromate content indicates higher pigment purity and color strength. Encapsulated grades can reach 94.2% lead chromate content while offering improved heat and chemical resistance.
  • Heat Resistance (160–220°C): Standard grades withstand 160–200°C. Encapsulated grades can be used in plastics processing up to 220°C.
  • 吸油值(15–25 g/100g): Lower oil absorption indicates lower binder demand and higher pigment loading capacity, making chrome pigments cost-effective in formulation.
  • Light Fastness (4–5): Moderate to good. Chrome pigments are suitable for interior applications and semi-durable exterior applications.

封装成绩

Starwin offers encapsulated (coated) grades of Chrome Yellow. These grades feature a dense amorphous coating (typically silica, alumina, or organic treatment) deposited on the pigment particle surface to improve:

  • Heat resistance: Up to 220°C for plastic processing
  • Chemical resistance: Improved stability against acids, alkalis, and sulfur
  • Light fastness: Enhanced UV stability for exterior applications
  • 色散: Improved dispersibility in solvent-based and water-based systems

Encapsulated grades are recommended for applications requiring higher performance than standard grades, including plastics, powder coatings, and automotive refinish systems.

关键应用领域

1. Industrial Coatings

  • Road Marking Paints: Extensively used for its high visibility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Provides excellent opacity and weather resistance for traffic paints.
  • Construction Machinery Coatings: Used in heavy-duty equipment coatings requiring high opacity and bright color.
  • Industrial Finishes: Used in general industrial coatings for machinery, metal furniture, and structural steel.

2. Plastics

  • PVC and Polyolefins:适用于 PVC、PE 和 PP,需具备高达 220°C 的热稳定性(封装级)。
  • Masterbatch: Used in color masterbatch for plastics, providing high opacity and bright color.
  • Engineering Plastics:包封级填料适用于在较高温度下加工的特定工程塑料。

3. Printing Inks

  • Offset Inks: Used in sheetfed and web offset inks for yellow tones.
  • Packaging Inks: Used in solvent-based and water-based packaging inks.

监管状态

Lead chromate pigments are subject to significant regulatory restrictions worldwide:

  • REACH Annex XIV: PY34 is included in the Authorisation List. Since May 21, 2015, use without approved authorisation is prohibited in the EU.
  • RoHS 指令: Lead restricted to < 0.1% in electrical and electronic equipment.
  • Not approved for food contact or cosmetic applications.

Customers must verify compliance with local regulations before use. Consider heavy-metal-free alternatives such as Bismuth Vanadate (PY184) or Diarylide Yellow (PY12/13/14) where applicable.

Packaging & Storage

  • 包装: 25 kg/bag with inner PE liner. 25 kg fiber drum available. Bulk super sacks available upon request.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
  • 交通: Handle with care to avoid dust generation. Follow local regulations for lead compound transportation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the main advantages of Chrome Yellow?

Chrome Yellow offers high opacity, excellent tinting strength, brilliant color, and good light fastness at a lower cost compared to organic pigments and heavy-metal-free alternatives like Bismuth Vanadate. They remain 50–80% less expensive per kilogram than Bismuth Vanadate, making them cost-effective for industrial applications where regulatory restrictions permit their use.

Can Starwin Chrome Yellow directly replace BASF L-series or DCC grades?

In most cases, yes — with proper testing. The Competitive Grade Equivalents table maps Starwin grades to equivalent products from BASF, DCC, and other international suppliers. We recommend requesting samples and conducting comparative testing for your specific formulation.

What are the alternatives to Chrome Yellow?

Heavy-metal-free alternatives include Bismuth Vanadate (PY184) for high-performance yellow, and Diarylide Yellow (PY12/13/14) for inks and coatings with lower cost but lower opacity and heat resistance.
