Clariant Hostaperm Yellow HN4G Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class of Hostaperm Yellow HN4G?

A: Hostaperm Yellow HN4G is a high-performance, non-bleeding benzimidazolone yellow pigment, known for its excellent thermal stability and lightfastness in demanding polymer applications.


Q2: Is Hostaperm Yellow HN4G suitable for food-contact plastics?

A: This pigment is not pre-approved for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. Its use in food-contact materials requires full formulation-level compliance assessment by the end-user, including migration testing and regulatory review per applicable jurisdiction.


Q3: How does Hostaperm Yellow HN4G perform in polyolefin processing?

A: It demonstrates very good dispersion stability and heat resistance in polyolefins such as PP and HDPE, maintaining color strength and hue consistency even during high-temperature extrusion and injection molding cycles.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for Hostaperm Yellow HN4G in masterbatches?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired shade intensity, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in polymer masterbatches.
