Clariant Graphtol Red F5RK Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class of Graphtol Red F5RK?

A: Graphtol Red F5RK is an organic pigment based on a quinacridone derivative structure, offering high chromatic strength, excellent lightfastness, and thermal stability suitable for demanding industrial applications.


Q2: Is Graphtol Red F5RK suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Graphtol Red F5RK is not pre-approved for direct food-contact applications. Its suitability depends on final regulatory assessment by the formulator, including compliance with applicable regional regulations and migration testing under intended use conditions.


Q3: How does Graphtol Red F5RK perform in high-temperature processing?

A: This pigment demonstrates good thermal stability and is designed for use in polymer processing operations such as injection molding and extrusion, typically up to 280 °C for short residence times, depending on the base resin and processing environment.


Q4: What are typical dosage levels when using Graphtol Red F5RK in polyolefins?

A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and opacity requirements, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in polyolefin matrices.
