Clariant Colanyl Scarlet GO 530 Color Paste – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of polymers is Colanyl Scarlet GO 530 compatible with?

A: Colanyl Scarlet GO 530 is specifically formulated for use in polyolefins such as PP and HDPE, and demonstrates good compatibility in certain engineering thermoplastics including ABS and PS. Performance in polar or highly crystalline resins should be verified through application testing.

Q2: How should this color paste be incorporated into the polymer matrix?

A: It is typically introduced via masterbatch dilution or direct addition during compounding—using high-shear melt mixing equipment such as twin-screw extruders. Pre-drying is not required, but ensuring uniform dispersion at recommended processing temperatures is essential for optimal color development and stability.

Q3: Does this product offer good thermal stability during processing?

A: Yes—Colanyl Scarlet GO 530 is engineered for robust thermal stability in standard polyolefin processing windows (typically up to 240–260 °C), minimizing color shift or degradation under typical extrusion and injection molding conditions.

Q4: Is this color paste suitable for applications requiring food contact compliance?

A: Colanyl Scarlet GO 530 is designed to meet general regulatory expectations for indirect food contact applications where permitted by local legislation. However, final compliance depends on the complete formulation, processing conditions, and end-use requirements—validation by the compounder or converter is necessary.

Q5: What is the typical dosage range for achieving full opacity and consistent shade?

A: Dosage depends on the base polymer, desired intensity, and processing method, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—to achieve strong, clean red shades with excellent opacity and batch-to-batch consistency.
