Clariant Hostafine Trans Oxide Red B 30 VP 5104 Color Paste – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of polymer systems is this color paste compatible with?

A: Clariant Hostafine Trans Oxide Red B 30 VP 5104 is formulated for use in thermoplastic polymers including polyolefins (PP, PE), PS, ABS, and certain engineering plastics. It is not recommended for high-temperature processing above 280 °C or for applications requiring long-term UV stability without additional stabilization.


Q2: How should this color paste be incorporated into the base polymer?

A: The paste is typically introduced via gravimetric or volumetric dosing directly into the extruder feed throat or hopper. Pre-blending with a portion of the base resin prior to extrusion can improve dispersion uniformity. Avoid high-shear pre-mixing that may cause premature pigment agglomeration.


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

A: This grade is not certified for direct food contact or medical device applications. Customers requiring regulatory compliance must consult Clariant’s technical service team for documentation supporting specific regional requirements and verify suitability within their final formulation and processing conditions.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for achieving full opacity or strong transparency effects?

A: As a transparent oxide red, it delivers strong chroma at low loadings. For transparent tints, dosage generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight depending on substrate thickness and desired intensity. For semi-opaque effects, higher concentrations may be used—but always evaluate dispersion quality and thermal stability in the target process.
