Q1: What is the primary application field for Hostatint Oxide Yellow E-CT Color Paste?
A: This color paste is specifically developed for coloring polyolefin compounds—especially polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE)—in applications requiring high thermal stability, good dispersion, and consistent hue reproducibility during melt processing.
Q2: Is this product suitable for food-contact plastics?
A: Hostatint Oxide Yellow E-CT is formulated with inorganic pigment technology and is intended for use in food-contact applications where regulatory compliance is required; however, final approval depends on the complete formulation, processing conditions, and applicable regional regulations—users must verify suitability with their regulatory team and relevant authorities.
Q3: How should this color paste be incorporated into polymer melts?
A: It is designed for direct addition to the polymer matrix during extrusion or injection molding. Good mixing efficiency is achieved using standard compounding equipment; pre-blending with a portion of base resin may improve dispersion uniformity, especially at lower dosage levels.
Q4: Does this paste contain heavy metals or restricted substances?
A: Hostatint Oxide Yellow E-CT is based on iron oxide yellow pigment and complies with Clariant’s internal standards for absence of intentionally added lead, cadmium, mercury, and hexavalent chromium; it is not classified as hazardous under GHS for transport or handling when used as directed.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for achieving full opacity in PP?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and substrate characteristics, but typical usage generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the polymer—lighter tints require lower concentrations, while deeper, more opaque shades may approach the upper end of this range.
