Sicomin® Yellow L 1522

Sicomin® Yellow L 1522 by Sun Chemical (DIC) is a lead sulfo chromate. It is an inorganic pigment. Consists of mixed crystals consisting of lead chromate and lead sulfate. It is not a mixture of lead chromate and lead sulfate and is, for stabilization purposes, coated with silicate. It possesses medium fastness properties but high chroma. It is insoluble in organic solvents and thus fast to over spraying. Is not suitable to color or coat cement or lime. The heat stability depends on the binder and solvent system used. It is used when the emphasis is on economy rather than fastness to light, weathering, and resistance to sulfur dioxide. It is particularly suitable as the sole colorant present, either in the full or reduced shades, as well as in combination with other pigments for producing oranges and greens. Used in industrial coatings.
