Q1: What is the primary chemical class of Clariant Permanent Red FGR 02?
A: Clariant Permanent Red FGR 02 is a high-performance, high-purity perylene-based organic pigment, offering excellent thermal stability and lightfastness without containing heavy metals or halogenated compounds.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for food-contact plastics?
A: Yes — Clariant Permanent Red FGR 02 is specifically designed and qualified for use in food-contact applications, complying with major global regulatory frameworks for plastic packaging materials when used within approved conditions and concentration limits.
Q3: How does it perform under high-temperature processing conditions?
A: This pigment demonstrates outstanding thermal stability, maintaining color integrity and dispersion quality during standard polymer processing such as injection molding and extrusion at temperatures up to 300 °C, depending on the resin system and residence time.
Q4: What types of polymers is it commonly used in?
A: It is widely compatible with engineering thermoplastics including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), and polycarbonate (PC), and is especially valued in demanding applications requiring long-term color retention and minimal plate-out.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range in polymer masterbatches?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade strength and final application requirements, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in masterbatch formulations.
