Product Code: Commercial Name: Manufacturer: Pigment Classes: CAS No: EINECS No: 15A Mapico® Micronized Heat Stable Tan Huntsman Pigment Yellow 119 / Color Index No. 77496 CAS 68187‐51‐9 269‐103‐8 Date: 11/09/2015 Ref: 15A Version: 002 Page 1 of 1 Description Mapico® Tan 15A is a medium tan ferrite, produced by the high temperature reaction of iron oxide and zinc oxide (Fe2O3•ZnO). Tan 15A is a high performance, heat stable pigment, micronized for ease of dispersion, color consistency and stable performance in coatings, both aqueous and non‐aqueous, plastics and other high‐heat applications where high temperature resistance and weather durability is required. The Mapico® Tan series is most commonly used in plastics. High temperature stability and ease of dispersion make these pigments suitable for resin systems from LLDPE and vinyl to sophisticated engineering polymers and silicone rubber compounds. Interactions of pigment and some resins in high‐temp plastics compounding can lead to slight color shifts. Suitability of tan pigments should be verified for specific applications. Exterior durability is improved by the ultraviolet screening properties contributed by these pigments, especially with polymers that are sensitive to sunlight. The Mapico® Tan product line is characterized as providing advantages in the following areas: 
Heat Stability 
Ultraviolet Screening 
Color 
Non‐Migration 
Dispersion 
Bleed Resistance 
Exterior Durability 
Quality Assurance The Mapico® Tan series of heat stable pigments are inert, insoluble in organic materials as well as resistant against chemicals, alkali and dilute acids. Mapico® Tan 15A is of sufficient purity for use in selected applications for packaging or articles that come in contact with food (21CFR). Uses: coil coatings, high‐bake industrial finishes, roofing granules and plastics. Composition/Typical Properties Typical Trace Metal Content in Parts Per Million (ppm)
