Clariant Colanyl Green GG 131-CN Phthalocyanine Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key performance advantages of Colanyl Green GG 131-CN compared to conventional phthalocyanine green pigments?

A: Colanyl Green GG 131-CN offers enhanced dispersibility in polar polymer systems and improved thermal stability during high-shear compounding. Its optimized particle size distribution contributes to superior color strength, gloss retention, and reduced filter pressure buildup in masterbatch production.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Colanyl Green GG 131-CN is designed for non-food-contact applications. It is not certified for direct or indirect food-contact use under major global regulatory frameworks. For food-safe alternatives, consult Clariant’s portfolio of FDA-compliant or EU-compliant pigments.


Q3: What types of polymers is Colanyl Green GG 131-CN most commonly used with?

A: This pigment demonstrates excellent compatibility and color development in polyolefins (PP, PE), styrenics (PS, ABS), and engineering thermoplastics such as PA6 and PBT. Performance in PVC and PET may require formulation optimization depending on processing conditions.


Q4: How should Colanyl Green GG 131-CN be dispersed for optimal results?

A: Best results are achieved using high-shear dispersion techniques—such as twin-screw extrusion or high-speed dissolvers—with appropriate wetting agents and carrier resins. Pre-dispersed masterbatches are recommended for consistent dosing and minimized handling variability.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range when using this pigment in polymer masterbatches?

A: Dosage depends on the target shade depth and final application requirements, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in the masterbatch concentrate—due to its high intrinsic color strength and tinting power.
