Clariant Hansa Red 3B Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and typical hue profile of Hansa Red 3B?

A: Hansa Red 3B is an organic monoazo pigment belonging to the Hansa yellow–red series. It delivers a bright, clean mid-red shade with moderate bluish undertones and good tinting strength in both aqueous and organic media.


Q2: Is Hansa Red 3B suitable for use in food-contact plastics or inks?

A: Hansa Red 3B is not approved for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for general industrial uses such as decorative coatings, non-food packaging inks, and engineering plastics where regulatory compliance for migration is not required.


Q3: How does Hansa Red 3B perform in terms of lightfastness and weather resistance?

A: Hansa Red 3B offers moderate lightfastness in most polymer systems and coatings, typically rated between 4–5 on the Blue Wool Scale. Its weather resistance is limited; prolonged UV exposure may lead to noticeable fading, especially in thin films or outdoor applications without protective overcoats.


Q4: What are common dispersion methods and compatibility considerations?

A: Hansa Red 3B disperses well using high-shear mixing or bead milling in polar resins and water-based systems. It shows good compatibility with acrylics, vinyls, and nitrocellulose but may require surface treatment or dispersing aids in non-polar thermoplastics like PP or PE to ensure optimal color development and stability.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range in industrial coating formulations?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired opacity or intensity, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to total solids—to achieve full coverage and consistent shade development.
