Q1: What are the primary application areas for Hansa Brilliant Yellow 2GX 70-S?
A: This pigment is widely used in solvent-based and water-based industrial coatings, including automotive refinishes, coil coatings, and general-purpose decorative paints. It is also suitable for selected plastic applications where good lightfastness and heat stability up to moderate processing temperatures are required.
Q2: How does Hansa Brilliant Yellow 2GX 70-S compare to other yellow pigments in terms of chroma and transparency?
A: It delivers high chroma and clean greenish-yellow hue with excellent transparency, making it especially valued in tinting systems and metallic or pearlescent effect coatings where color strength and clarity are critical.
Q3: Is this pigment suitable for food-contact coatings?
A: Hansa Brilliant Yellow 2GX 70-S is not approved for direct food-contact applications. Its use in packaging or food-related coatings must be evaluated case-by-case against applicable regulatory frameworks and migration requirements, and requires prior consultation with Clariant technical support.
Q4: What dispersion characteristics can be expected in standard coating systems?
A: The pigment exhibits good wetting and dispersibility in common organic solvents and resin systems. Optimal performance is achieved using conventional high-shear dispersion equipment; stabilization may be enhanced with appropriate surfactants or polymeric dispersants depending on the vehicle.
Q5: Does this grade contain any heavy metals or restricted substances?
A: Hansa Brilliant Yellow 2GX 70-S is an organic azo pigment manufactured without intentionally added heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent chromium. It complies with major global restrictions on hazardous substances, subject to current formulation and manufacturing practices.
