Clariant Novoperm Carmine HF4C Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class of Novoperm Carmine HF4C?

A: Novoperm Carmine HF4C is a high-performance perylene-based organic pigment, belonging to the perylene carboximide subclass, known for exceptional lightfastness, thermal stability, and color strength.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Novoperm Carmine HF4C is not approved for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for non-food-contact industrial applications such as automotive coatings, industrial plastics, and decorative inks where high chroma and durability are required.


Q3: How does HF4C compare to standard Novoperm Carmine grades in terms of dispersibility?

A: The HF4C grade is specifically engineered for enhanced wetting and dispersion in polar polymer systems and aqueous media, offering improved processing efficiency and reduced grinding time compared to conventional Novoperm Carmine pigments.


Q4: What types of resin systems show optimal compatibility with this pigment?

A: Novoperm Carmine HF4C demonstrates excellent compatibility with engineering thermoplastics (e.g., ABS, PC, and polyesters), acrylics, and high-solids solventborne coatings. Performance in polyolefins may require tailored dispersant support.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for achieving full opacity in plastic applications?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and substrate, but Novoperm Carmine HF4C is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—to achieve strong tinting strength and good opacity in most thermoplastic systems.
