Cadmium Yellow

Description

Product Overview
Cadmium Yellow (Pigment Yellow 37) is a high-performance, inorganic pigment engineered for superior thermal stability and color brilliance in demanding industrial applications. It is primarily used in high-temperature plastics, engineering coatings, and professional artist materials where fade resistance and opacity are critical. The key value proposition lies in its unmatched chroma and durability compared to organic yellow alternatives. Strategically, it remains essential for sectors requiring long-term exterior-grade coloration, despite increasing regulatory stewardship.

Competitive Advantage Spotlight
Our Cadmium Yellow delivers ±0.05% batch-to-batch consistency, 30% higher tint strength than market average, and is supplied with full REACH and RoHS declaration support.

Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Cadmium sulfide (CdS) with zinc sulfide coprecipitate for shade control

• Purity grade: ≥99.5% pigment content; heavy metal leachate compliant with EU limits

• Physical characteristics: Fine powder; shades ranging from primrose (lemon) to deep orange-yellow; mean particle size 0.5–1.5 µm; density 4.5–5.9 g/cm³

• Packaging options: 25 kg multi-ply paper bags, 500 kg FIBC totes, or custom lined drums

• Shelf life: 60 months in sealed, dry storage; no degradation under normal industrial conditions

Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: High-performance plastics, coil coatings, road marking paints, and specialty inks

• Operational use cases: Masterbatch for engineering polymers (ABS, polycarbonate), anti-corrosion primers, and heat-stable powder coatings

• Performance advantage: Withstands processing up to 400°C without color shift—outperforming organic yellows by >150°C

• Cost advantage: Lower loading levels (15–20% less than organics) achieve same hiding power, reducing per-unit formulation cost

Competitive Advantages
