Heubach HEUCODUR Black 955 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of HEUCODUR Black 955?

A: HEUCODUR Black 955 is a high-performance inorganic black pigment based on a spinel-type mixed metal oxide, engineered for exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance. Its composition is proprietary to Heubach but falls within the class of complex iron-manganese-cobalt oxides designed for demanding industrial applications.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Yes, HEUCODUR Black 955 is formulated and tested for compliance with global food-contact regulations applicable to inorganic pigments in polyolefins and other thermoplastics. It is intended for indirect food-contact applications where regulatory assessment confirms suitability for the final article’s intended use conditions.


Q3: How does HEUCODUR Black 955 perform under high-temperature processing?

A: This pigment exhibits excellent thermal stability, retaining its black hue and dispersion integrity during standard polymer processing up to 300 °C. It is especially suited for applications involving extended residence times or high-shear compounding, such as in masterbatch production or engineering thermoplastics.


Q4: What types of polymers is HEUCODUR Black 955 typically used in?

A: It is widely compatible with polyolefins (PP, PE), polyesters (PET, PBT), polycarbonate, and engineering thermoplastics. Its surface treatment enables good dispersibility in both non-polar and moderately polar matrices, making it suitable for demanding coloration of technical parts and functional components.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range when using this pigment in polymer systems?

A: Dosage depends on the desired shade depth, polymer type, and processing method, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in final compounds. Optimal loading should be determined through application-specific trials to balance color strength, dispersion quality, and mechanical performance.
