Clariant Hostaperm H4G Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and pigment type of Hostaperm H4G?

A: Hostaperm H4G is a high-performance perylene-based organic pigment, classified as a red-shade quinacridone derivative analogue. It belongs to the ISO Color Index Pigment Red 179 category and is valued for its exceptional lightfastness, thermal stability, and resistance to migration in demanding polymer applications.


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

A: This pigment is widely employed in engineering thermoplastics such as polyamide (PA6, PA66), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), especially where high processing temperatures and long-term color stability are required. It is also suitable for certain high-heat polyolefin compounds and masterbatches intended for automotive and electrical components.


Q3: How does Hostaperm H4G perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: Hostaperm H4G exhibits excellent thermal stability, maintaining color integrity and minimal degradation during melt processing up to approximately 300 °C for short residence times. Its robust molecular structure supports stable dispersion and reduced risk of blooming or plate-out in extrusion and injection molding processes.


Q4: Is Hostaperm H4G suitable for food-contact or regulatory-sensitive applications?

A: Hostaperm H4G is not certified for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks (e.g., FDA 21 CFR, EU Plastics Regulation). It is intended for industrial, automotive, and technical applications where regulatory compliance for food contact is not required. Always consult Clariant’s latest regulatory documentation and conduct application-specific testing before use.
