Ferro 10446 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Ferro 10446?

A: Ferro 10446 is a mixed-metal oxide pigment, primarily based on iron and chromium oxides, engineered for high thermal stability and inertness in demanding processing environments.


Q2: Is Ferro 10446 suitable for food-contact plastics?

A: Yes — Ferro 10446 is formulated to meet global regulatory expectations for pigments used in food-contact polymers, including compliance with FDA 21 CFR §178.3297 and EU Directive 2002/72/EC principles, subject to final formulation validation and migration testing.


Q3: How does Ferro 10446 perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: It exhibits excellent thermal stability, retaining color integrity and chemical inertness during standard polymer processing up to 300°C, making it well-suited for engineering thermoplastics such as polyesters, polyamides, and polyphenylene sulfide.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for Ferro 10446 in polymer masterbatches?

A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and base polymer, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in final compounds — with optimal dispersion achieved using standard compounding equipment.


Q5: Can Ferro 10446 be used in both crystalline and amorphous thermoplastics?

A: Yes — its compatibility and dispersion characteristics have been validated across a broad range of thermoplastic resins, including semi-crystalline (e.g., PP, PET) and amorphous (e.g., PC, ABS) systems, without adverse effects on mechanical or optical properties.
