Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Ferro V-9118?
A: Ferro V-9118 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 contains no heavy metals restricted under major global regulatory frameworks for industrial pigments.
Q2: Is Ferro V-9118 suitable for use in food-contact plastics?
A: Ferro V-9118 is not pre-approved for direct food-contact applications under FDA 21 CFR or EU Framework Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004. It may be considered for indirect food-contact applications where migration is fully controlled by barrier layers and validated through appropriate testing — subject to final regulatory review by the end-user’s compliance team.
Q3: How does Ferro V-9118 perform under high-temperature processing conditions?
A: This pigment demonstrates excellent thermal stability, maintaining consistent color and dispersion integrity during standard polymer processing operations including injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding — typically up to 300°C, depending on residence time and resin matrix.
Q4: What types of polymers is Ferro V-9118 commonly used with?
A: Ferro V-9118 is widely compatible with engineering thermoplastics such as polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), as well as high-heat resins like polyetherimide (PEI) and polyether ether ketone (PEEK). Performance in amorphous versus semi-crystalline systems should be confirmed via lab-scale trials.
