1 Commercially Available Bisacetoacetarylide Pigments and Their Properties 

16 covers the medium yellow range. Increasingly stringent industrial requirements in some areas slowly restrict the use of this originally versatile product. 

In the paint field P.Y.16 is primarily used in industrial finishes. The similarity to P.Y.l is limited to a likeness in shade but P.Y.16 is fast to overcoating and shows no tendency to bleed in baking enamels. Although its full shade lightfastness equals step 7-8 on the Blue Scale, types that are only slightly reduced with TiOz (1 5) reach only step 5. Only full shades provide good weatherfastness. 

16 is supplied as a pigment preparation to the emulsion paint industry. 

Besides its use in cast resin, such as methylmethacrylate mixtures, P.Y.16 has gained recognition as a colorant for felt-tip pens, water colors, and a number of related applications. It lends color to leather, mass and surface paper coloration, and paper pulp.
