ECKART PC 200 Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of ECKART PC 200 Pigment in polymer systems?

A: ECKART PC 200 Pigment is a high-performance pearlescent effect pigment based on mica coated with titanium dioxide. It is primarily used to impart brilliant, metallic-like luster and chromatic depth to thermoplastics, thermosets, and coatings—without compromising substrate clarity or mechanical integrity.


Q2: Is ECKART PC 200 suitable for injection-molded polypropylene (PP) or ABS parts?

A: Yes—ECKART PC 200 is widely processed in common thermoplastics including PP, ABS, PS, and PET. Its optimized particle size distribution and surface treatment enhance dispersion stability and reduce shear sensitivity during melt processing, helping maintain effect integrity in demanding molding operations.


Q3: How should ECKART PC 200 be incorporated into masterbatches or direct-compound formulations?

A: For optimal results, pre-blend ECKART PC 200 with carrier resin using low-shear mixing before extrusion. Direct addition to the main polymer stream is possible but requires careful attention to feed consistency and residence time to avoid agglomeration or effect degradation. Dosage typically ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight, depending on desired visual intensity and base formulation.


Q4: Does ECKART PC 200 exhibit resistance to UV exposure and thermal aging in outdoor applications?

A: The titanium dioxide coating provides inherent UV stability, and ECKART PC 200 demonstrates good retention of luster and color under accelerated weathering conditions when properly compounded in UV-stabilized polymer matrices. Long-term performance depends on overall system design—including host polymer selection and stabilization package.
