C.I. Pigment Yellow 154 is a chemical compound belonging to the group of benzimidazolone pigments and classified as one of the azo pigments.
Properties Pigment Yellow 154 is a yellow pigment characterized by very high lightfastness and weather fastness. It exhibits high resistance to common organic solvents such as alcohols, esters, and hydrocarbons.
Synthesis Pigment Yellow 154 can be synthesized by azo coupling. The synthesis starts from 2-trifluoromethylaniline, which is diazotized with nitrites and subsequently coupled with 5-(acetoacetylamino)benzimidazolone to form the azo pigment.
Use Pigment Yellow 154 is primarily used in the paint industry and is considered one of the most weather-resistant organic yellow pigments. It is also used for nuancing other color shades and for producing lightened pure yellow and green shades.
