Ferro 10408 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Ferro 10408?

A: Ferro 10408 is a mixed-metal oxide pigment, primarily based on iron and chromium oxides, engineered for thermal stability and consistent color performance in high-temperature polymer processing.


Q2: Is Ferro 10408 suitable for food-contact plastics?

A: Yes — it is formulated to meet general regulatory expectations for inorganic pigments used in food-contact applications, provided final formulations comply with applicable regional requirements and migration testing protocols.


Q3: How does Ferro 10408 perform under high-shear compounding conditions?

A: It demonstrates excellent dispersion stability and minimal color shift during high-shear compounding, making it well-suited for twin-screw extrusion and masterbatch production.


Q4: What types of polymers is Ferro 10408 typically used in?

A: It is widely compatible with engineering thermoplastics such as polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), especially where heat resistance above 260°C is required.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for achieving full opacity and color strength?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements, but it is generally effective at low concentrations — typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — with optimal loading determined through application-specific trials.
