Clariant Agrocer Red 482 Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for Agrocer Red 482?

A: Agrocer Red 482 is specifically developed for use in agricultural plastic films, including mulch films, greenhouse covers, and silage wraps, where high chroma, weather resistance, and compatibility with polyethylene and polypropylene matrices are essential.


Q2: Is Agrocer Red 482 suitable for direct food-contact applications?

A: Agrocer Red 482 is not intended for direct food-contact applications. It is formulated and tested for agricultural film use only, and compliance with food-contact regulations should be confirmed separately by the compounder or end-user based on final formulation and regulatory jurisdiction.


Q3: How does Agrocer Red 482 perform under UV exposure and outdoor aging?

A: This pigment exhibits excellent lightfastness and UV stability in polyolefin films, maintaining color strength and minimizing fading during extended outdoor exposure—key for long-duration agricultural applications such as seasonal mulching or multi-year greenhouse covers.


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

A: Dosage depends on the base polymer, desired shade intensity, and processing conditions, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—in masterbatch or direct-add formulations.
