Q1: What is the primary application area for Viscofil Blue ARN pigment?
A: Viscofil Blue ARN is specifically developed for use in water-based inkjet inks, particularly for industrial and textile digital printing applications where high chroma, good dispersion stability, and reliable jetting performance are required.
Q2: Is Viscofil Blue ARN suitable for reactive dye printing on cotton?
A: No — Viscofil Blue ARN is a pigment, not a reactive dye. It is designed for pigment-based ink systems used on natural and synthetic fibers, offering excellent wash- and light-fastness without requiring chemical fixation like reactive dyes.
Q3: How should Viscofil Blue ARN be dispersed in ink formulations?
A: It is supplied as a stable aqueous dispersion and is intended for direct incorporation into water-based ink vehicles. Pre-dispersion is generally not required; however, gentle homogenization and filtration (e.g., 1–5 µm) are recommended to ensure optimal nozzle compatibility and long-term storage stability.
Q4: Does Viscofil Blue ARN contain any heavy metals or restricted substances?
A: Viscofil Blue ARN is formulated in accordance with Clariant’s Responsible Care principles and complies with major global regulatory frameworks for colorants in inks. It does not intentionally contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, or other substances restricted under RoHS or REACH SVHC candidate lists.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range of Viscofil Blue ARN in finished ink formulations?
A: Dosage depends on the desired color strength, substrate, and print process, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in the final ink formulation.
