Clariant Hostaperm E 122 Organic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and typical hue of Hostaperm E 122?

A: Hostaperm E 122 is a high-performance quinacridone-based organic pigment, offering a clean, bluish red shade with excellent chroma and strong tinting strength.


Q2: Is Hostaperm E 122 suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Hostaperm E 122 is not approved for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for non-food-contact industrial uses, including general-purpose plastics, coatings, and inks where regulatory compliance for migration is not required.


Q3: How does Hostaperm E 122 perform in terms of weather resistance and lightfastness?

A: This pigment exhibits very good to excellent lightfastness and weather resistance in most polymer systems, particularly when stabilized appropriately. Its performance is especially robust in outdoor applications such as automotive coatings and durable plastic parts.


Q4: What are the recommended dispersion methods for optimal color development?

A: For best results, Hostaperm E 122 should be dispersed using high-shear equipment—such as three-roll mills, bead mills, or high-speed dispersers—in combination with compatible dispersants and wetting agents tailored to the specific resin system.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range in plastic coloration?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired opacity or transparency, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in most thermoplastic and thermoset applications.
