Clariant Colanyl Yellow FGL 500 Color Paste – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of polymer systems is Colanyl Yellow FGL 500 compatible with?

A: Colanyl Yellow FGL 500 is formulated for compatibility with a broad range of thermoplastics, including polyolefins (e.g., PP, PE), styrenics (e.g., PS, ABS), and engineering polymers such as PA and PC. Performance may vary depending on processing conditions and base resin characteristics—compatibility testing under actual production conditions is recommended.


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

A: The paste is typically introduced via masterbatch dilution or direct addition during compounding using standard melt-processing equipment (e.g., twin-screw extruders). Good dispersion is achieved under typical shear and temperature profiles used for the host polymer—pre-drying is not required, but storage in sealed containers at ambient temperature is advised to maintain consistency.


Q3: Is Colanyl Yellow FGL 500 suitable for applications requiring good thermal stability?

A: Yes—the pigment system is selected and processed to provide robust thermal stability suitable for conventional polymer processing temperatures, including extrusion and injection molding. Discoloration or degradation is minimal under standard processing windows, though optimal performance depends on residence time, shear history, and overall formulation balance.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range when using this paste?

A: Dosage depends on the desired shade strength and final application requirements, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the base polymer. Precise levels should be determined through lab-scale trials and adjusted based on colorimetric targets and processing behavior.
