Clariant Agrocer Red 112 Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for Agrocer Red 112?

A: Agrocer Red 112 is specifically developed for use in agricultural plastic films—such as mulch films, greenhouse covers, and silage wraps—where high chroma, weather resistance, and compatibility with polyolefin matrices are essential.


Q2: Is Agrocer Red 112 suitable for direct food-contact applications?

A: No—Agrocer Red 112 is not intended for food-contact or pharmaceutical applications. It is formulated and qualified for non-food-agricultural uses only, and regulatory compliance should always be verified against the final end-use and applicable regional requirements.


Q3: How does Agrocer Red 112 perform under UV exposure and outdoor aging?

A: This pigment exhibits good lightfastness and UV stability in polyolefin-based agricultural films, helping to maintain color integrity during extended outdoor exposure—though long-term performance depends on film thickness, stabilizer package, and environmental conditions.


Q4: What is the recommended dosage range for optimal dispersion and color strength?

A: Dosage typically ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight in polyethylene or polypropylene masterbatches, depending on desired shade intensity and film thickness. Lower concentrations often suffice due to its high tinctorial strength and efficient dispersion characteristics.


Q5: Can Agrocer Red 112 be used in combination with other pigments or additives?

A: Yes—it demonstrates good compatibility with common polymer additives (e.g., UV absorbers, antioxidants) and can be co-processed with other Agrocer-series pigments to achieve custom shades, provided compatibility testing is conducted in the target formulation.
