Clariant Colanyl Oxide Blue COR 530 Color Paste – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of polymers is Colanyl Oxide Blue COR 530 compatible with?

A: Colanyl Oxide Blue COR 530 is formulated for use in polyolefins (e.g., PP and PE), as well as certain engineering thermoplastics including ABS and PS. Compatibility should be verified through preliminary dispersion and thermal stability testing under actual processing conditions.

Q2: How is this color paste typically incorporated into polymer melts?

A: It is commonly added via gravimetric or volumetric dosing systems directly into the extruder feed throat or side-stuffer, or pre-blended with base resin using high-shear mixers. Good dispersion is achieved at standard melt processing temperatures and residence times typical for polyolefin compounding.

Q3: Does COR 530 contain heavy metals or halogenated compounds?

A: Colanyl Oxide Blue COR 530 is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium) or halogenated organic carriers, supporting compliance with common restricted-substance requirements for consumer-facing plastic applications.

Q4: What is the recommended dosage range for achieving target shade intensity?

A: Dosage depends on the base polymer, desired depth of shade, and processing method, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the total formulation. Optimal levels should be determined experimentally to balance color strength, dispersion quality, and thermal stability.

Q5: Can this color paste be used in applications requiring food contact compliance?

A: Colanyl Oxide Blue COR 530 is not pre-qualified for food-contact applications. Customers intending such use must conduct full regulatory evaluation—including migration testing and documentation review—against applicable regional requirements (e.g., FDA 21 CFR, EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004) and obtain formal approval prior to commercial deployment.
