Clariant Hostatint Orange GR 500 Color Paste – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of polymers is Hostatint Orange GR 500 Color Paste compatible with?

A: Hostatint Orange GR 500 is formulated for use in a broad range of thermoplastics, including polyolefins (PP, PE), styrenics (PS, ABS), and engineering plastics such as PA and PET. Compatibility should always be confirmed through application-specific testing due to formulation variability.


Q2: Is this color paste suitable for applications requiring food contact compliance?

A: Hostatint Orange GR 500 is designed for non-food-contact applications. It is not intended for direct or indirect food contact use, and no food contact regulatory clearances are claimed for this grade.


Q3: How should the color paste be incorporated into polymer melts?

A: The paste is typically introduced via gravimetric or volumetric dosing directly into the extruder feed throat or injection molding hopper. Pre-blending with base resin is recommended for optimal dispersion, especially at lower dosage levels.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for achieving standard orange shades?

A: Dosage depends on the target shade intensity and polymer matrix, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the base polymer.
