Clariant Hostaperm H4G Organic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and typical hue of Hostaperm H4G?

A: Hostaperm H4G is a high-performance perylene-based organic pigment, offering a clean, bluish-red shade with excellent chroma and strong tinting strength. Its molecular structure contributes to outstanding thermal stability and lightfastness.


Q2: In which polymer systems is Hostaperm H4G most commonly processed?

A: This pigment is widely used in engineering thermoplastics such as polyamide (PA6, PA66), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polycarbonate (PC), particularly where high-temperature processing and long-term color stability are required. It demonstrates good dispersibility in melt-compounding processes.


Q3: Does Hostaperm H4G meet regulatory requirements for food-contact applications?

A: Hostaperm H4G is not certified for direct food-contact use under major global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for non-food-contact industrial and automotive applications. For regulated end uses, always consult Clariant’s latest compliance documentation and perform application-specific testing.


Q4: How does Hostaperm H4G perform under outdoor weathering conditions?

A: Thanks to its perylene backbone, Hostaperm H4G exhibits very high resistance to UV radiation and atmospheric degradation. When properly formulated and dispersed, it delivers superior lightfastness and weatherfastness in exterior-grade plastic applications—especially in unpigmented or lightly pigmented matrices.


Q5: What is the recommended dosage range for optimal performance?

A: Dosage depends on the substrate, desired opacity, and processing conditions, but Hostaperm H4G is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—to achieve full shade development and maintain mechanical properties in the final polymer part.
