Widely used in printing inks, especially for packaging and labels due to its bright red hue and good dispersibility. Common in flexographic and gravure inks where strong color and clarity are needed. Also found in industrial coatings and some types of plastics, though with limited heat stability. Not suitable for high-temperature processing. Used in low-cost applications where lightfastness and weather resistance are not critical. Avoided in automotive or outdoor long-term applications due to moderate durability.
