Clariant H4G Organic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for Clariant H4G Organic Pigment?

A: Clariant H4G is primarily developed for high-performance coloration in engineering thermoplastics—especially polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)—where excellent thermal stability, dispersion behavior, and color consistency under processing conditions are required.


Q2: How does H4G perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: H4G exhibits very good thermal stability, enabling reliable use in melt-processing operations such as injection molding and extrusion at temperatures commonly encountered with high-melting engineering polymers—typically up to 280–300 °C for short residence times.


Q3: Is H4G suitable for food-contact applications?

A: H4G is not pre-approved for direct food-contact applications. Its suitability depends on final regulatory assessment within the specific polymer matrix, processing conditions, and end-use requirements. Customers must conduct full compliance evaluation—including migration testing if applicable—based on relevant regional regulations.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for H4G in polymer masterbatches?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired color strength, but H4G is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in the final compound—to achieve strong, clean shades with good opacity and minimal impact on mechanical properties.


Q5: Does H4G require special handling or stabilization during storage or compounding?

A: H4G is supplied as a dry, free-flowing powder and is stable under normal ambient storage conditions. For optimal dispersion, it is recommended to pre-mix with carrier resin before high-shear compounding; no additional stabilizers are required, though compatibility with other additives in the formulation should be verified empirically.
