Q1: What is Clariant DEET Pigment primarily used for?
A: Clariant DEET Pigment is a high-performance organic pigment dispersion designed for demanding coloration applications in industrial coatings, plastics, and specialty inks—where excellent lightfastness, thermal stability, and dispersion consistency are required.
Q2: Is Clariant DEET Pigment suitable for food-contact or pharmaceutical applications?
A: No—Clariant DEET Pigment is not certified for direct food-contact or pharmaceutical use. It is formulated for industrial and technical applications; customers requiring regulatory compliance for such uses must consult Clariant’s dedicated food-grade or pharma-compliant pigment portfolio.
Q3: How should Clariant DEET Pigment be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is supplied as a stable liquid dispersion and is typically added during the pigment incorporation stage—either pre-mixed with resins or introduced directly into the mill base. Optimal incorporation depends on shear conditions, carrier compatibility, and final viscosity targets, and may require minor adjustment of wetting agents or rheology modifiers.
Q4: What are the recommended storage conditions?
A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from direct sunlight and freezing conditions. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or contamination may affect dispersion stability and color performance.
Q5: Can Clariant DEET Pigment be used in water-based systems?
A: Yes—it is available in both solvent-based and aqueous dispersion variants. The aqueous version is engineered for compatibility with waterborne acrylics, polyurethanes, and other polar resin systems, though formulation compatibility testing is recommended to ensure stability and film integrity.
