Clariant Hostatint UV BV Color Paste – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Hostatint UV BV Color Paste in UV-curable systems?

A: Hostatint UV BV Color Paste is a highly concentrated, photostable pigment dispersion specifically engineered for use in UV-curable inks, coatings, and adhesives. Its main function is to provide intense, consistent coloration while maintaining excellent compatibility with acrylate-based resins and minimal impact on cure speed or final film properties.


Q2: Is this paste suitable for food-contact applications?

A: Hostatint UV BV Color Paste is not pre-approved for direct food-contact applications. Its suitability depends on full formulation assessment—including final curing conditions, substrate type, and intended regulatory framework—and must be verified by the end-user through appropriate migration testing and compliance evaluation.


Q3: How should the paste be incorporated into UV formulations?

A: The paste is designed for easy incorporation via high-shear mixing at ambient temperature. It is recommended to add it after monomers and oligomers but before photoinitiators, followed by thorough dispersion to ensure homogeneity. Avoid excessive heat or prolonged mechanical stress during mixing to preserve pigment integrity.


Q4: Does this product contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or solvents?

A: Hostatint UV BV Color Paste is a solvent-free, VOC-free dispersion based on reactive acrylate carriers. It contains no added aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, or other regulated solvents, supporting low-emission UV formulation goals.


Q5: What storage conditions are recommended to maintain stability?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from direct sunlight and sources of UV radiation. Prolonged exposure to freezing or elevated temperatures may affect rheology and dispersion stability; always inspect for homogeneity before use.
