Clariant Viscofil Blue FRVD Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for Viscofil Blue FRVD?

A: Viscofil Blue FRVD is specifically developed for coloration of flame-retardant polyolefin compounds—especially in wire & cable insulation and jacketing where regulatory compliance, thermal stability, and color consistency under extrusion conditions are critical.


Q2: Is Viscofil Blue FRVD compatible with common halogen-free flame retardants like ATH or MDH?

A: Yes, it is formulated to remain stable and dispersion-efficient in high-loading halogen-free flame-retardant systems containing aluminum trihydrate (ATH) or magnesium hydroxide (MDH), without significant fading or interaction during compounding.


Q3: How does Viscofil Blue FRVD perform under high-temperature processing typical of polyolefin cable compounds?

A: It exhibits excellent thermal stability up to 260 °C for short residence times, maintaining color strength and hue integrity during extrusion and cross-linking processes commonly used in wire & cable manufacturing.


Q4: Can Viscofil Blue FRVD be used in direct-contact food packaging applications?

A: No—it is not intended or approved for food-contact applications. This pigment is designed for industrial polymer applications where regulatory requirements differ significantly from those governing food packaging materials.
