A warm-tone barium lake monoazo pigment delivering bright, yellowish-red shades with good colour strength. Widely used in printing inks, decorative paints, and rubber compounding as a cost-effective warm red with good dispersion properties.
PR 53:1 is a barium lake monoazo delivering a warm, yellowish-red shade with good flow properties, widely specified in offset, NC, and PP inks for packaging and decorative paints. As a barium-containing lake, it is best suited to indoor applications — verify lightfastness for any use with prolonged UV exposure, and check applicable toy-safety or food-contact migration limits (e.g. EN 71-3) before specifying for children’s products or food-contact packaging.

Good water and oil resistance and excellent flow make PR 53:1 a widely specified warm red for offset and nitrocellulose ink systems.
Used extensively in polypropylene film and flexographic packaging inks for a bright, warm, cost-effective red.
Cost-effective warm red for indoor water-based and NC decorative paints where full exterior lightfastness is not required.
Good dispersion in rubber compounding for indoor and general-purpose applications at moderate processing temperatures.
PR 53:1 is supplied as dry powder, milled directly into offset, NC, or PP ink vehicles. Contact us to discuss presscake grades for water-based ink systems.
Registered under EU REACH regulation. Full SDS available on request for compliance documentation.
As a barium-containing lake pigment, confirm soluble barium migration limits (e.g. EN 71-3) before use in toys or food-contact packaging. Not recommended for prolonged exterior UV exposure.
