  • Applications

    Pigment Yellow 16 (CAS 5979-28-2) is used as a colorant in coatings and industrial paints, in printing inks, and as a pigment for polymers to impart durable yellow coloration in plastics such as PVC, ABS, and PC. It is also used in rubber and elastomer formulations to color tires and seals, and may be used in cosmetics and personal care formulations as a pigment, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
