Fast Red Bbc Pigment Red 48: 2 for Offset Inks and Coating

Pigment Red 48:2 delivers a bright bluish-red shade that is bluer than PR48:1 and PR48:4, but more yellowish compared to PR57:1. This makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring a clean, vibrant blue-red tone without the magenta bias of PR57:1.

PR48:2 is widely used as the standard red for NC-type packaging gravure inks due to its good transparency, excellent dispersibility, and high color strength. It also shows good solvent resistance and low viscosity, making it suitable for high-speed printing processes.

Yes, PR48:2 is widely used in PVC, LDPE, HDPE, and PP applications. It offers non-bleeding properties in soft PVC and good heat resistance up to 230 degrees C for 5 minutes in HDPE, with some grades reaching up to 260 degrees C depending on the system. It is also suitable for fiber grade and masterbatch production.

PR48:2 is suitable for industrial paints, decorative solvent-based paints, powder coatings, and nitro paint. It offers good solvent resistance and bleeding resistance. However, it has limited acid and alkali resistance, so it is not recommended for high-chemical-exposure environments or exterior applications requiring long-term weather resistance.

PR48:2 offers excellent migration resistance in soft PVC, making it a preferred choice for plasticized PVC applications such as cables, flooring, and synthetic leather. Its calcium salt structure provides good compatibility with plasticizers, ensuring stable color performance without surface blooming or bleeding over time.
