Pigment Yellow 83 (Diarylide Yellow HR, Permanent Yellow HR)
CAS Number: 5567-15-7
Pigment Yellow 83 (PY 83) is a high-performance diarylide yellow with superior lightfastness, heat stability, and bleed resistance compared to PY 12 and PY 13, making it the preferred yellow for demanding packaging applications, outdoor printing, and automotive coatings that require extended durability. PY 83's warmer, more reddish-yellow hue and excellent opacity in full-shade inks serve metal decorating, industrial, and specialty printing applications.
