Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Ferro 10406?
A: Ferro 10406 is a high-performance inorganic pigment based on a complex metal oxide system, engineered for thermal and chemical stability. Its exact proprietary formulation is protected under Ferro’s intellectual property, but it is free of regulated heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury.
Q2: Is Ferro 10406 suitable for use in food-contact plastics?
A: Yes — Ferro 10406 is formulated to meet global regulatory expectations for pigments used in food-contact applications, including compliance with FDA 21 CFR §178.3297 and relevant EU framework requirements for inorganic colorants. Final regulatory clearance remains the responsibility of the compounder or end-user based on their specific application and processing conditions.
Q3: How does Ferro 10406 perform under high-temperature processing?
A: This pigment exhibits excellent thermal stability and retains its color integrity during standard polymer processing, including injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding at temperatures up to 300°C. It shows minimal color shift or degradation even under extended residence times typical in engineering thermoplastics.
Q4: What types of polymers is Ferro 10406 most commonly used with?
A: Ferro 10406 demonstrates broad compatibility with both crystalline and amorphous thermoplastics, including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), ABS, polycarbonate (PC), and polyesters. It is also successfully used in thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and certain engineering resins where high color strength and dispersion stability are required.
Q5: What is the recommended dosage range for optimal performance?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity, polymer type, and processing method. Ferro 10406 is typically used at low concentrations, generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight, with efficient dispersion achievable using standard compounding equipment and appropriate carrier resins.
