Q1: What is the primary application field for Hostatint Red A-D3GD 130 VP 5386?
A: This pigment paste is specifically formulated for coloring polyolefin-based compounds, including PP and HDPE, commonly used in injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion applications—especially where high thermal stability and dispersion performance are required.
Q2: Is this product suitable for food-contact applications?
A: Hostatint Red A-D3GD 130 VP 5386 is designed to meet general regulatory expectations for pigments used in polyolefins intended for food-contact articles, subject to final formulation compliance and applicable regional requirements. Users must validate suitability within their specific end-use and processing conditions.
Q3: How should this color paste be incorporated into polymer melts?
A: It is typically introduced via masterbatch dilution or direct gravimetric feeding during compounding. Good melt mixing and sufficient residence time are recommended to ensure uniform dispersion and optimal color development.
Q4: Does this paste contain heavy metals or halogenated compounds?
A: Hostatint Red A-D3GD 130 VP 5386 is manufactured without intentionally added heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium) or halogenated carriers, aligning with Clariant’s commitment to sustainable and restricted-substance-free solutions.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range when using this paste in polypropylene?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and base polymer properties, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the final compound.
