Q1: What is the primary application area for Hostatint Red E-FGRD Color Paste?
A: Hostatint Red E-FGRD is specifically developed for coloring food-contact plastics, including polyolefins (e.g., PP, PE) and certain engineering thermoplastics used in packaging, containers, and kitchenware where regulatory compliance and migration control are critical.
Q2: Is this color paste suitable for high-temperature processing such as injection molding or extrusion?
A: Yes, Hostatint Red E-FGRD is formulated to provide excellent thermal stability during standard polymer processing conditions, including injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion of polyolefins—without significant hue shift or degradation under typical residence times and temperatures.
Q3: How should the paste be incorporated into the polymer matrix?
A: The paste is designed for direct addition to base resins using standard masterbatch dilution techniques or inline metering systems. For optimal dispersion, pre-mixing with a portion of the carrier resin prior to final melt processing is recommended.
Q4: Does this product contain heavy metals or restricted aromatic amines?
A: No—Hostatint Red E-FGRD is manufactured without intentionally added heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium) and is free from azo dyes that cleave to regulated aromatic amines, in alignment with major global food-contact material expectations.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range when using this color paste?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and polymer type, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the final compound—to achieve full opacity and consistent red tones.
