Q1: What types of polymer systems is Colanyl Red FGR 131 Color Paste compatible with?
A: Colanyl Red FGR 131 is formulated for use in polyolefins—including PP and HDPE—as well as certain engineering thermoplastics. It demonstrates good dispersion stability and thermal resistance during standard melt processing conditions.
Q2: How should this color paste be incorporated into a polymer formulation?
A: It is typically introduced via gravimetric or volumetric dosing directly into the extruder feed throat or hopper, either neat or pre-blended with carrier resin. Good mixing efficiency and residence time are recommended to ensure uniform dispersion.
Q3: Is Colanyl Red FGR 131 suitable for applications requiring food contact compliance?
A: This grade is designed for non-food-contact industrial applications. For food-contact uses, Clariant offers alternative colorants specifically assessed against relevant regional regulatory frameworks—consult your Clariant representative for compliant options.
Q4: What is the typical dosage range for achieving strong red shades in polypropylene?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and base polymer opacity, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—due to its high tinting strength and efficient pigment dispersion.
