Certolake Tartrazol Yellow

Certolake Tartrazol Yellow (CAS 12225-21-7 ), also known as C.I. Pigment Yellow 100, is an aluminum lake pigment derived from tartrazine. It is engineered to deliver stable yellow coloration in applications where soluble dyes are unsuitable.

Unlike its parent dye, this lake form is insoluble, making it the preferred choice for systems requiring color that resists migration or bleeding. In cosmetics and personal care, it is used to color pressed powders and eyeshadows.

It is also utilized in lipsticks where oil- and water-resistance are required for product stability. Printing inks and packaging coatings rely on it for consistent yellow hues in substrates where dye bleed would compromise quality.

Food manufacturers incorporate lake pigments into coatings, tablet pans, and confectionery shells where moisture content would dissolve conventional dyes. It also appears in dry-mix formulations such as powdered drink mixes.

The pigment is ideal for seasoning blends where uniform color distribution is critical. Certolake Tartrazol Yellow is supplied as a fine powder, typically in varying dye-content concentrations that determine color strength.

Grades are available to meet cosmetic and food-contact specifications, with buyers commonly sourcing against FCC or EU-compliant standards. Packaging is generally offered in fiber drums or multi-wall bags.

These storage solutions are suited to industrial volumes and ensure the integrity of the pigment during transport. This product remains a staple for manufacturers requiring high-performance, non-bleeding yellow colorants.
