Clariant Duasyn Red Violet E2R Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class of Duasyn Red Violet E2R?

A: Duasyn Red Violet E2R is a high-performance disazo pigment, belonging to the diarylide yellow/violet subclass, engineered for balanced hue strength, thermal stability, and lightfastness in demanding applications.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Duasyn Red Violet E2R is not approved for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for non-food-contact industrial plastics, coatings, and inks where high chroma and weather resistance are required.


Q3: How does its dispersion behavior compare to other high-strength violet pigments?

A: Duasyn Red Violet E2R exhibits excellent dispersibility in both polar and non-polar polymer systems, particularly in PVC, PS, and ABS. Its surface treatment supports efficient wetting and minimizes agglomeration during melt compounding, contributing to consistent color development and reduced filtration pressure.


Q4: What are the recommended processing temperature limits for optimal performance?

A: This pigment demonstrates good thermal stability up to approximately 220–240 °C for short residence times. Prolonged exposure above 230 °C—especially in oxygen-rich environments—may lead to gradual chromatic shift; therefore, optimized screw design and residence time control are advised during extrusion or injection molding.


Q5: Can it be used in aqueous-based ink systems?

A: While primarily designed for solvent- and polymer-based systems, Duasyn Red Violet E2R can be formulated into aqueous inks using appropriate dispersants and milling techniques. However, its hydrophobic nature typically requires robust stabilization to achieve colloidal stability and prevent settling or flocculation.
