To achieve the target colors, pigmentation (post-processing) in solvents is a key process in making Pigment Yellow 180 (PY180), a bis azo pigment. In this work, the solvent effect on the pigmentation behavior of PY180 was studied based on the Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) and the molecular polarity index (MPI) method. First, the samples were characterized using FTIR, XRD, and TEM, and the colorimetric analysis was performed using the CIE L*a*b* color space model. It was found that the color hues obtained in ten solvents are different, with the overall color variation from reddish&ndash:yellow to greenish&ndash:yellow. Further characterization confirmed that the crystallinity and particle size increase of PY180 during the pigmentation mainly account for the variation of the chromaticity. Then, HSPs were introduced to understand how suspension behavior affects the dissolution&ndash:reprecipitation process. It shows that high-quality pigments can be obtained from solvents generally with low HSP differences (&Delta:&delta:) between the solvents and PY180. To compensate for the inaccurate prediction of the HSPs method, MPI was used to value the influence of solvent molecular polarity. The results show that among solvents with similar solubility parameters to PY180, the stronger the molecular polarity index (MPI) of the solvent, the greater the color variation of the pigments. Meanwhile, different solvents influence the crystallization behavior of the low soluble system, which was supplemented by the above study.
