Q1: What is the primary application area for Clariant Agrocer Red 482 Disp. Pigment?
A: Clariant Agrocer Red 482 Disp. Pigment is specifically developed for use in agricultural plastic films, including mulch films, greenhouse covers, and silage wraps, where consistent red coloration and good dispersion stability are required under processing and field conditions.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) film extrusion?
A: Yes — Agrocer Red 482 Disp. Pigment is formulated as a liquid dispersion optimized for compatibility with common thermoplastic agricultural resins, particularly LDPE, LLDPE, and PP. It demonstrates good thermal stability during melt processing and minimal plate-out tendency.
Q3: How should the pigment be dosed in the final formulation?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and base polymer opacity, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the total compound — and can be introduced via gravimetric feeders or inline metering systems.
Q4: Does this product contain heavy metals or restricted substances?
A: Clariant Agrocer Red 482 Disp. Pigment is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, or hexavalent chromium, and complies with Clariant’s internal Product Stewardship standards for agricultural applications.
