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

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

A: Graphtol Red LG is an organic pigment based on the azo chromophore system, specifically engineered for high tinctorial strength and thermal stability in demanding polymer processing environments.


Q2: Is Graphtol Red LG suitable for food-contact plastics?

A: Graphtol Red LG is designed for use in non-food-contact applications. For food-contact compliance, customers must consult Clariant’s regulatory documentation and conduct full formulation-specific migration testing under applicable regional requirements.


Q3: How does Graphtol Red LG perform during high-temperature processing, such as injection molding of engineering thermoplastics?

A: This pigment exhibits excellent thermal stability and retains its color integrity at processing temperatures up to 280 °C, making it well-suited for polypropylene, polyethylene, and certain engineering polymers processed via extrusion or injection molding.


Q4: What are typical dosage levels when using Graphtol Red LG in polyolefin masterbatches?

A: Dosage depends on the desired shade depth and base resin, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in masterbatch formulations.
