Q1: What is the primary application field for Hostafine Yellow SP-HR 30?
A: Hostafine Yellow SP-HR 30 is specifically developed for high-performance coloring of thermoplastic polymers, especially polyolefins (PP, PE) and engineering plastics such as ABS, PS, and PC, where excellent heat stability, dispersion, and color strength are required.
Q2: How does SP-HR 30 differ from other Hostafine Yellow pastes?
A: SP-HR 30 is formulated with enhanced thermal stability and rheological properties optimized for high-shear compounding and direct injection molding. Its “HR” designation indicates superior resistance to degradation at elevated processing temperatures compared to standard Hostafine Yellow pastes.
Q3: Is this paste suitable for food-contact or medical-grade applications?
A: Hostafine Yellow SP-HR 30 is not pre-qualified for food-contact or medical use by default. Its suitability depends on final formulation, processing conditions, and regulatory evaluation by the end-user. Clariant provides supporting documentation upon request to assist with compliance assessments.
Q4: What is the recommended dosage range in polymer systems?
A: Dosage is formulation-dependent but generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight, depending on the desired shade intensity, polymer type, and processing method. It is typically used at low concentrations due to its high pigment loading and strong tinting strength.
Q5: Can SP-HR 30 be mixed with other Hostafine pastes or masterbatches?
A: Yes — SP-HR 30 is chemically compatible with other Hostafine color pastes and most commercial polymer masterbatches. However, compatibility testing under actual processing conditions is recommended to ensure uniform dispersion and avoid potential interactions affecting color consistency or stability.
