Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of HEUCODUR Blue 5-100?
A: HEUCODUR Blue 5-100 is a cobalt-free, inorganic blue pigment based on a modified spinel-type crystal structure, engineered for high thermal stability and chemical inertness in demanding polymer and coating systems.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics?
A: Yes — HEUCODUR Blue 5-100 is specifically developed for applications requiring regulatory compliance in food-contact materials. It meets relevant global requirements for inorganic pigments in polyolefins and other thermoplastics intended for indirect food contact, subject to final formulation validation.
Q3: How does HEUCODUR Blue 5-100 perform under high-temperature processing conditions?
A: This pigment exhibits excellent thermal stability, retaining its color integrity and dispersion characteristics during standard melt processing of polyolefins, engineering thermoplastics, and powder coatings up to 300 °C, with minimal risk of blooming or discoloration.
Q4: What are the recommended dispersion methods for optimal performance?
A: For best results, pre-dispersion using high-shear mixing or twin-screw compounding is recommended. The pigment is compatible with conventional masterbatch production techniques and responds well to standard dispersing aids used in polymer and industrial coating formulations.
