Kela Materials presents PY184, a high-purity bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) inorganic pigment known for its bright yellow shade with a slight green undertone. The pigment delivers exceptionally high reflectance near 580 nm, giving it outstanding brightness, chroma, and visual purity.

PY184 can be used alone or combined with organic pigments to adjust tone and strength. It also functions as a direct replacement for lead chromate yellow, offering equivalent or superior color performance without heavy metals—an ideal solution for modern environmental and regulatory requirements.

As a functional pigment, bismuth vanadate also exhibits photocatalytic behavior under light exposure, generating reactive species and providing added resistance to UV-induced degradation in coatings. PY184 is increasingly used in next-generation coating systems, engineering plastics, and high-end color applications.

FAQ

What is Titanium Yellow PY184?
It is a high-purity bismuth vanadate inorganic pigment known for its bright yellow shade, excellent chroma, and high reflectance at 580 nm.

Why is PY184 considered environmentally friendly?
It provides the same performance as lead chromate yellow but contains no heavy metals, making it compliant with global environmental regulations.

Where is PY184 typically used?
In coatings, plastics, inks, automotive materials, and any application requiring strong brightness and long-term stability.

Does PY184 offer photocatalytic properties?
Yes. As a BiVO₄-based pigment, it shows photocatalytic behavior under light, offering added UV protection in coating systems.

Can PY184 be blended with other pigments?
Yes. It blends well with both inorganic and organic pigments to create a wide range of customized yellow-green shades.
