Q1: What is the primary function of ECKART ZP 10555 Pigment in coating and ink formulations?
A: ECKART ZP 10555 is a high-performance pearlescent pigment based on synthetic mica coated with titanium dioxide. It delivers strong chromatic shift, excellent brightness, and good orientation in film-forming systems—primarily used to achieve metallic or iridescent visual effects in decorative and functional coatings, gravure and flexo inks, and plastic coloration.
Q2: Is ECKART ZP 10555 suitable for use in food-contact applications?
A: While ECKART ZP 10555 complies with general regulatory requirements for pigments used in indirect food-contact materials (e.g., FDA 21 CFR §73.1646 for pearlescent pigments), its suitability for specific food-contact applications depends on final formulation, processing conditions, and applicable local regulations. End users must conduct full compliance verification—including migration testing—under intended use conditions.
Q3: How should ECKART ZP 10555 be dispersed to achieve optimal optical performance?
A: Optimal dispersion requires gentle but thorough mixing using low-shear equipment—such as dissolvers or dual-planetary mixers—to preserve flake integrity. Pre-wetting with compatible solvents or resins is recommended. High-shear processes (e.g., bead milling or ultrasonication) should be avoided, as they may damage the delicate platelet structure and reduce luster and chroma.
Q4: Can ECKART ZP 10555 be combined with other effect pigments or conventional colorants?
A: Yes—ZP 10555 is commonly blended with transparent organic pigments, carbon black, or other pearlescent or aluminum effect pigments to fine-tune hue, depth, and flop behavior. Compatibility testing is advised to ensure stability, uniform orientation, and absence of adverse interactions (e.g., flocculation or reduced gloss) in the final system.
