Q1: What types of polymers is Flexonyl Yellow WF 074 compatible with?
A: Flexonyl Yellow WF 074 is specifically formulated for use in polyolefins—including PP and HDPE—as well as certain engineering thermoplastics such as ABS and PS. It demonstrates good thermal stability and dispersion performance during standard melt processing conditions.
Q2: How should this color paste be dosed in a production formulation?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and base polymer transparency, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight. Optimal loading should be determined through lab-scale trials and adjusted based on final color match and processing requirements.
Q3: Does this product contain heavy metals or restricted substances?
A: Flexonyl Yellow WF 074 is manufactured without intentionally added heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, mercury, or hexavalent chromium) and complies with Clariant’s internal Restricted Substances List (RSL), which aligns with major global regulatory expectations for colorants in industrial applications.
Q4: Can Flexonyl Yellow WF 074 be used in food-contact applications?
A: This grade is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact use. For applications requiring regulatory compliance (e.g., FDA 21 CFR or EU Framework Regulation), consult Clariant’s technical service team to evaluate suitability and obtain supporting documentation for specific end-use scenarios.
