Clariant PV FAST Blue BG Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and pigment type of PV FAST Blue BG?

A: PV FAST Blue BG is a high-performance organic pigment based on a copper phthalocyanine derivative, classified under the Colour Index as Pigment Blue 15:3. It exhibits excellent crystalline stability and strong blue-shade hue with high tinting strength.


Q2: Is PV FAST Blue BG suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: PV FAST Blue BG is not approved for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for general-purpose industrial plastics, coatings, and inks where regulatory compliance for food contact is not required.


Q3: How does PV FAST Blue BG perform in polyolefin processing, particularly during high-temperature extrusion?

A: This pigment demonstrates good thermal stability in polyolefin systems, maintaining color integrity and minimal blooming up to typical polypropylene and polyethylene processing temperatures. Its optimized particle size distribution supports dispersion stability and reduces plate-out risk during extended extrusion runs.


Q4: What are the recommended dispersion methods for achieving optimal color development in solvent-based coatings?

A: For solvent-based systems, high-shear dispersion using bead mills or three-roll mills is recommended. Pre-wetting with compatible solvents (e.g., aromatic hydrocarbons or ketones) followed by controlled milling ensures uniform particle deagglomeration and maximizes gloss and chroma performance.


Q5: Can PV FAST Blue BG be used alongside other high-strength organic pigments in multi-pigment formulations?

A: Yes — PV FAST Blue BG shows good compatibility with many common organic pigments (e.g., Pigment Red 170, Pigment Yellow 13, and Pigment Orange 34) in compounded masterbatches and liquid dispersions, provided formulation pH, polarity, and dispersant selection are balanced to avoid flocculation or shade shift.
