Rubine Toner

Pigment Red 57:1 (Lithol Rubine 4B)

Rubine Toner (Pigment Red 57:1) is the universal standard for "Magenta" in the printing industry. It creates a clean, brilliant bluish-red shade with high color strength. It is the dominant pigment used in Offset, Gravure, and Flexographic inks for full-color (CMYK) printing.

C.I. Number 15850:1
CAS Number 5281-04-9
Heat Stability 240°C - 260°C

Product Overview

Rubine Toner is a calcium salt lake of a monoazo dye. We supply the 4B Toner grade, which has the specific bluish-red undertone required for process printing. It offers excellent dispersibility in ink varnishes and plastics.

  • Color Strength: Very high tinting strength, making it economical for ink formulation.
  • Transparency: High transparency allows for color overlapping in CMYK printing to create thousands of shades.
  • Purity: Low heavy metal content and PCB-free grades available for food packaging inks.

The Science: What is a "Toner"?

Soluble Dye to Insoluble Pigment

Pigment Red 57:1 starts its life as a water-soluble dye. To make it a pigment suitable for oily inks and plastics, we perform "Laking".

  • Calcium Switch: We react the sodium salt of the dye with Calcium Chloride. The Calcium ion replaces the Sodium, making the molecule heavy and insoluble in water.
  • The Result: This creates a "Salt" or "Lake" (Toner) that precipitates out as a fine pigment. This process locks in the color and gives it the necessary resistance to bleeding in water and solvents.

Industrial Applications

Offset Inks

The #1 choice for Magenta in Sheetfed and Web Offset printing inks for magazines and packaging.

Plastics & Masterbatch

Used for coloring PVC, LDPE, HDPE, and Rubber. Stable at processing temperatures.

Liquid Inks

Used in solvent-based and water-based Flexo and Gravure inks for flexible packaging.

Industrial Paints

Used in air-drying enamels and industrial finishes where moderate light fastness is acceptable.

Stationery

Used in artist colors, crayons, chalks, and colored pencils.

Cosmetics

High purity grades are used in lipsticks, blushers, and nail polishes (D&C Red No. 7).

Safety & Handling Protocols

Standard Precautions

Organic pigments are fine powders that require dust control.

  • Dust: Use dust extraction and wear a mask (N95). Pigment dust can be irritating.
  • Staining: Intense color. Will stain clothing and skin. Wear protective overalls.
  • Static: Can generate static electricity during transfer. Ensure equipment is grounded.
