Q1: What is the primary application field for Sanodure Bordeaux RL?
A: Sanodure Bordeaux RL is a high-performance organic pigment specifically developed for use in solvent-based and water-based coatings, including industrial wood finishes, automotive refinishes, and decorative architectural coatings where strong red-bordeaux hue, excellent lightfastness, and good dispersion stability are required.
Q2: Is Sanodure Bordeaux RL suitable for food-contact coatings?
A: Sanodure Bordeaux RL is not certified for direct food-contact applications. It is intended for decorative and protective coatings on non-food-contact surfaces. For food-contact systems, consult Clariant’s dedicated portfolio of FDA-compliant or EU-regulated pigments and obtain formal regulatory confirmation prior to use.
Q3: How should Sanodure Bordeaux RL be dispersed in coating formulations?
A: Optimal performance is achieved through high-shear dispersion using standard equipment such as bead mills or high-speed dispersers. Pre-wetting with compatible solvents or resins is recommended. Dispersion time and energy should be adjusted based on the specific binder system and desired gloss/hiding properties.
Q4: What are the key handling and storage recommendations?
A: Store in original sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or ignition. Avoid inhalation of dust during handling—use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators and gloves, in accordance with local occupational health and safety guidelines.
