Clariant Sanodal Deep Black MLW Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application of Sanodal Deep Black MLW Pigment?

A: Sanodal Deep Black MLW Pigment is specifically developed for high-performance black coloration in anodized aluminum finishes, particularly in architectural and industrial hard anodizing processes where deep, uniform, and lightfast black appearance is required.


Q2: Is this pigment compatible with standard sulfuric acid anodizing electrolytes?

A: Yes, Sanodal Deep Black MLW Pigment is formulated for compatibility with conventional sulfuric acid-based anodizing baths and is designed to integrate smoothly into existing process lines without requiring major bath modifications.


Q3: How does Sanodal Deep Black MLW differ from conventional organic black dyes?

A: Unlike standard organic dyes, Sanodal Deep Black MLW offers enhanced thermal stability and superior UV resistance, enabling improved color retention during post-anodizing sealing and long-term outdoor exposure — especially critical for façade and transportation applications.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for optimal black intensity?

A: Dosage depends on bath conditions, alloy type, and desired shade depth, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the anodizing bath volume — with fine-tuning recommended via lab-scale trials.
