Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of HEUCODUR Brown 855?
A: HEUCODUR Brown 855 is a mixed metal oxide pigment based on iron and manganese oxides, engineered for high thermal stability and inertness in demanding polymer processing environments.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for food-contact plastics?
A: Yes — HEUCODUR Brown 855 is formulated to meet global regulatory expectations for pigments used in food-contact polymers, including compliance with relevant provisions of FDA 21 CFR and EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, subject to final formulation validation.
Q3: How does HEUCODUR Brown 855 perform under high-temperature processing conditions?
A: It exhibits excellent thermal stability, retaining color integrity and chemical inertness during standard polyolefin and engineering plastic processing, including injection molding and extrusion at temperatures up to 300 °C.
Q4: What is the typical dosage range when using this pigment in polypropylene or HDPE?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and substrate opacity, but it is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in polyolefin applications.
