Clariant Hostafine Red P2GL 30 Color Paste – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for Hostafine Red P2GL 30?

A: Hostafine Red P2GL 30 is specifically developed for high-performance coloring of polyolefins—especially polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE)—in applications requiring excellent heat stability, low volatility, and good dispersion, such as injection-molded automotive parts, technical components, and durable consumer goods.


Q2: How does this paste compare to dry pigment forms in terms of processing benefits?

A: As a liquid color paste, Hostafine Red P2GL 30 offers superior handling, dust-free operation, and more consistent dosing versus dry pigments. It provides improved dispersion efficiency during compounding or direct injection molding, reducing the risk of streaking and improving batch-to-batch color reproducibility.


Q3: Is this product suitable for food-contact applications?

A: Hostafine Red P2GL 30 is formulated without heavy metals and meets general requirements for indirect food contact in polyolefin packaging and containers, subject to final regulatory assessment by the end-user based on applicable national or regional frameworks. Confirmation of compliance requires evaluation within the full finished article and intended use conditions.


Q4: What are the recommended storage conditions?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Avoid freezing, as it may affect rheology and dispersion stability. For optimal performance, use within 12 months of delivery under proper storage conditions.
