Benzimidazolone Yellow (PY151)
Pigment Yellow 151 (C.I. 13980) is a Monoazo of Benzimidazolone chemistry of medium yellow shade suitable for plastics, paints and coatings applications. It has additional limited use in inks applications.
Ferro is a leading global manufacturer of high performance Monoazo Benzimidazolone pigments.
These pigments cover the color spectrum from greenish yellow to orange. Used in conjunction with 5-(2' hydroxy-3'- naphtoylamino)-benzimidazolone as a coupling component, it imparts red colors ranging from medium red to carmine red, maroon and brown shades.
Ferro’s Lysopac Yellow (PY151) is a very opaque, relatively greenish-yellow shade of Benzimidazolone Yellow pigment with very good dispsersibility, excellent light and heat fastness. It has good overall fastness properties, making it a recommended pigment for coatings applications. It has additional limited use in plastics and inks applications.

VALUE ADDED SERVICES
Advanced Color Matching
Ferro technicians combine their talents with today's most advanced computer color analysis equipment to offer our customers precise color-matching services. Our spectrophotometry process minimizes metamerism, speeds up color matching, ensures consistent quality and helps identify the pigment combination that produces any given color for the lowest possible cost and right performance characteristics, including outdoor durability and NIR reflectance.
Ferro can match your color chip/drawdown or we can refer to complete files of OSHA, Munsel, RAL, Federal Standard 595 Series or Pantone® matching systems to achieve your reference number. All of our colors are matched to Ferro standards or your reference sample, ensuring precise color reproduction from order to order.
