(Specification)Standard Specification for Molybdate Orange Pigments
Standard Specification for Molybdate Orange Pigments
ABSTRACT
This specification covers molybdate orange dry pigments made by chemical coprecipitation of lead chromate and lead molybdate, with or without admixtures of other insoluble lead compounds or other materials. Mixing the pigments with a white pigment should produce tints with required mass colors and characters. The dry pigments should be subjected to chemical analysis, The dry pigments should conform to the specified requirements for chromium content, molybdenum content, moisture and other volatile matter content, coarse particle content, water-soluble matter content, mass color and tinting strength, and resistance to loss of gloss, chalking, and color change.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the pigment known as molybdate orange.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 The following hazard caveat applies to the test method portion of this specification only. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM D2218-67(2019): Standard Specification for Molybdate Orange Pigments is a key international standard published by ASTM International. It specifies requirements for molybdate orange pigments, which are produced by chemical coprecipitation of lead chromate and lead molybdate. These pigments may include additional insoluble lead compounds or other materials intended to modify certain properties. The standard details the necessary chemical composition, physical properties, and performance characteristics required for molybdate orange pigments used primarily in paints, coatings, and related applications.
Key Topics
Composition and Production
- Molybdate orange pigments are made by coprecipitating lead chromate and lead molybdate.
- Formulations may include additional insoluble lead compounds or other materials to adjust performance.
Quality and Purity Requirements
Pigments must meet strict criteria, including:- Chromium and molybdenum content within specified ranges.
- Limits on moisture, volatile matter, coarse particles, and water-soluble matter.
- Adherence to requirements for mass color, tinting strength, and resistance to gloss loss, chalking, and color change.
Testing and Analysis
- Procedures for sampling during production batches.
- Standardized ASTM test methods for:
- Chemical composition
- Fineness of dispersion
- Coarse particle content
- Gloss and reflectance
- Moisture and volatile matter
- Mass color and tinting strength
- Emphasizes the use of SI units as the measurement standard.
Performance Evaluation
- Provides recommended methods for testing the pigment’s resistance to weathering, gloss loss, color change, and chalking, especially for coatings applications.
Health, Safety, and Regulatory Compliance
- Includes cautionary guidance to ensure users establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices.
- Compliance with local and international regulations is stressed.
Applications
Molybdate orange pigments specified by ASTM D2218-67(2019) are widely used in several industries due to their vibrant color, tinting strength, and durability. Typical applications include:
Paints and Coatings
- Used in architectural, industrial, automotive, and protective coatings for their outstanding color stability, gloss retention, and resistance to weathering.
Plastics and Polymers
- Incorporated into plastic manufacturing where high-performance color is required.
Printing Inks and Colorants
- Suitable for formulating high-strength, fade-resistant printing inks.
Benefits of using standardized molybdate orange pigments:
- Improved quality control during pigment selection and manufacturing.
- Compatibility and reproducibility in product formulation.
- Assurance of consistent performance across different batches and suppliers.
