Q1: What is the primary chemical class of Hostaperm Pink E 12?
A: Hostaperm Pink E 12 is a high-performance perylene-based organic pigment, belonging to the perylene tetracarboxylic diimide family, known for excellent lightfastness, thermal stability, and weather resistance.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in polyolefin plastics such as PP or PE?
A: Yes, Hostaperm Pink E 12 demonstrates good compatibility and dispersion stability in polyolefins. It is widely used in injection-molded and extruded polypropylene and polyethylene applications requiring high chroma and long-term color retention.
Q3: How does Hostaperm Pink E 12 perform under elevated processing temperatures?
A: This pigment exhibits high thermal stability, typically retaining its coloristic properties during standard polymer processing conditions up to approximately 300 °C, making it suitable for demanding melt-processing operations.
Q4: What is the typical dosage range when using Hostaperm Pink E 12 in plastic masterbatches?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and final application requirements, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in masterbatch formulations.
Q5: Does Hostaperm Pink E 12 meet regulatory requirements for food-contact plastics?
A: Hostaperm Pink E 12 is not intended for direct food-contact applications unless explicitly authorized under applicable regional regulations. Customers must verify compliance with local food-contact legislation based on their specific formulation and end-use conditions.
