Q1: What is the primary application field for Graphtol Rubine L4B?
A: Graphtol Rubine L4B is a high-performance organic pigment designed primarily for use in gravure and flexographic inks, especially where strong rubine red shade, excellent transparency, and good solvent resistance are required.
Q2: Is Graphtol Rubine L4B suitable for food packaging inks?
A: Graphtol Rubine L4B is developed for non-migrating applications and may be used in food packaging inks subject to full regulatory compliance verification by the ink formulator — including assessment of substrate type, processing conditions, and end-use requirements. It is not pre-certified for all food contact applications.
Q3: How does Graphtol Rubine L4B perform in aggressive solvent systems?
A: This pigment exhibits good stability in typical printing ink solvents such as ethyl acetate, ethanol, toluene, and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PMA), with minimal flocculation or hue shift under standard dispersion and storage conditions.
Q4: What is the recommended dosage range in ink formulations?
A: Dosage depends on the desired color strength and opacity requirements, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in finished ink systems.
