Heubach HEUCODUR Blue 552 Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of HEUCODUR Blue 552?

A: HEUCODUR Blue 552 is a cobalt-free, spinel-type inorganic pigment based on mixed metal oxides, engineered for high thermal stability and chemical inertness in demanding industrial applications.


Q2: Is HEUCODUR Blue 552 suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Yes — it is formulated to meet global regulatory expectations for pigments in food-contact polymers, including compliance with major food safety frameworks; final suitability depends on full system validation and end-use conditions.


Q3: How does HEUCODUR Blue 552 perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: It exhibits excellent thermal stability, retaining color integrity and dispersion quality during standard polymer processing methods such as injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding at temperatures up to 300 °C.


Q4: What types of polymer systems is HEUCODUR Blue 552 typically compatible with?

A: It demonstrates broad compatibility with engineering thermoplastics including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), as well as certain high-performance thermosets.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range when using HEUCODUR Blue 552 in plastic compounds?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired chroma, but it is generally used at low concentrations — typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight — due to its high intrinsic tinting strength and opacity.
