Clariant Viscofil Yellow 2GLL Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for Viscofil Yellow 2GLL?

A: Viscofil Yellow 2GLL is specially developed for use in solvent-based and water-based gravure and flexographic inks, particularly where high transparency, clean hue, and excellent dispersion stability are required.


Q2: Is Viscofil Yellow 2GLL suitable for food packaging inks?

A: Yes — this pigment is designed for use in inks intended for non-direct food contact packaging applications. Formulators should verify final ink compliance with applicable regional regulations through full system testing.


Q3: How does Viscofil Yellow 2GLL perform in terms of lightfastness and heat stability?

A: It offers good lightfastness under typical indoor display conditions and demonstrates thermal stability suitable for standard ink drying and processing temperatures encountered in rotogravure and flexo printing.


Q4: What is the recommended dosage range when using Viscofil Yellow 2GLL in ink formulations?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired color strength, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in finished ink systems.


Q5: Does Viscofil Yellow 2GLL require special dispersing equipment or pre-treatment before incorporation into inks?

A: It disperses readily using standard high-shear mixing equipment commonly employed in ink manufacturing; no specialized pre-treatment is necessary, though optimal dispersion is achieved with appropriate resin selection and milling time.
