Lake Red PR 53.1, also known as Lake Red C, is a monoazo barium lake pigment widely used in industrial colouring applications. National Colour Agencies supplies Lake Red PR 53.1 pigment powder to manufacturers requiring consistent shade, stable performance, and dependable bulk supply.
This grade is preferred where a yellowish-red tone, good tinting strength, and reliable heat and solvent resistance are required across inks, plastics, coatings, and related industries.
Lake Red PR 53.1 is an insoluble organic lake pigment produced by precipitating an azo dye with a barium salt. This conversion makes the pigment suitable for applications where dye solubility is not acceptable.
It delivers:
Bright yellowish-red shade
Good dispersion in common binder systems
Balanced fastness properties for industrial use
It is commercially known as Pigment Red 53:1 or Lake Red C.
