Heubach HEUCODUR Yellow 3R Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of HEUCODUR Yellow 3R?

A: HEUCODUR Yellow 3R is a high-performance inorganic pigment based on a modified lead chromate–molybdate solid solution, engineered for enhanced thermal stability and lightfastness in demanding polymer processing environments.


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

A: HEUCODUR Yellow 3R is not intended for direct food-contact applications. Its use in packaging or containers requires full regulatory assessment by the formulator, including compliance with applicable regional food contact legislation and migration testing protocols.


Q3: How does HEUCODUR Yellow 3R perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: This pigment exhibits excellent thermal stability, maintaining color integrity during standard melt-processing of polyolefins, engineering thermoplastics, and PVC up to typical extrusion and injection molding temperatures—without significant discoloration or decomposition.


Q4: Can HEUCODUR Yellow 3R be used in outdoor applications requiring UV resistance?

A: Yes—its inorganic nature and optimized crystal structure provide inherently good UV stability and weather resistance, making it suitable for long-term outdoor applications when properly compounded and stabilized within the polymer matrix.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for achieving optimal color strength in polypropylene?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired shade intensity, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in polypropylene—due to its high tinting strength and dispersion efficiency.
