Clariant Hostaperm Blue BT-728-D Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class of Hostaperm Blue BT-728-D?

A: Hostaperm Blue BT-728-D is a high-performance perylene-based organic pigment, known for its excellent lightfastness, thermal stability, and resistance to migration in demanding polymer applications.


Q2: In which polymers is this pigment most commonly used?

A: It is widely used in engineering thermoplastics such as polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), particularly where high-temperature processing and long-term color stability are required.


Q3: Is Hostaperm Blue BT-728-D suitable for food-contact applications?

A: While the pigment itself is not inherently restricted for food-contact use, regulatory compliance depends on the final formulation, processing conditions, and applicable regional regulations. Customers must conduct full regulatory evaluation—including extraction testing—within their specific application matrix.


Q4: How does this pigment perform under UV exposure and weathering?

A: As a perylene derivative, Hostaperm Blue BT-728-D delivers outstanding UV stability and weather resistance, making it suitable for outdoor applications where long-term color retention is critical—especially when properly dispersed and compounded.


Q5: What is the recommended dispersion method for optimal performance?

A: Optimal results are achieved through high-shear compounding—such as twin-screw extrusion—with careful attention to temperature profile and residence time. Pre-dispersed masterbatches are also available and often preferred for consistent dosing and reduced handling variability.
