Clariant Hansa Scarlet RNC Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and typical hue profile of Hansa Scarlet RNC?

A: Hansa Scarlet RNC is an organic monoazo pigment belonging to the Hansa Yellow/Scarlet family. It delivers a clean, bright red-orange shade with strong chroma and good lightfastness in many polymer and coating systems.


Q2: Is Hansa Scarlet RNC suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: This pigment is not certified for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It may be considered for indirect or non-migrating applications where regulatory assessment confirms compliance — users must conduct full formulation-specific evaluations and consult local regulatory authorities before use.


Q3: How does Hansa Scarlet RNC perform in high-temperature processing such as injection molding?

A: Hansa Scarlet RNC exhibits good thermal stability up to approximately 220–240 °C, making it suitable for many standard thermoplastic processing conditions. Performance may vary depending on residence time, shear history, and resin matrix — stabilization and processing optimization are recommended for demanding applications.


Q4: What dispersion methods are recommended to achieve optimal color strength and consistency?

A: Optimal dispersion is typically achieved using high-shear equipment such as twin-screw extruders or high-speed dispersers. Pre-dispersed concentrates (pellets or pastes) are widely used in plastics, while wet-grinding or bead milling may be preferred for liquid coatings and inks.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range when using Hansa Scarlet RNC in polyolefin masterbatches?

A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and final application requirements, but typical use levels in polyolefin masterbatches generally range from 0.1% to 2% by weight — with lower concentrations often sufficient due to its high tinctorial strength.
