Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Holliday 16 Ultramarine Pigment?
A: Holliday 16 is a synthetic sodium aluminosilicate-based ultramarine pigment, stabilized with polysulfide chromophores. Its characteristic intense blue hue arises from the sulfur-containing cage structure within the sodalite lattice.
Q2: Is Holliday 16 suitable for use in acid-sensitive applications such as certain coatings or inks?
A: No — like most ultramarine pigments, Holliday 16 is not acid-stable and may undergo color degradation or bleaching in low-pH environments. It is best suited for neutral to alkaline systems, including architectural paints, artist materials, and select plastics formulations where pH control is maintained.
Q3: How does Holliday 16 perform under heat exposure during processing?
A: Holliday 16 exhibits moderate thermal stability and is generally suitable for applications involving processing temperatures up to approximately 120–140 °C. Prolonged exposure above this range — especially in the presence of moisture or acidic residues — may lead to gradual color shift or loss of intensity.
Q4: Can Holliday 16 be used in food-contact or pharmaceutical-grade polymer compounds?
A: Holliday 16 is not certified for direct food-contact or pharmaceutical applications. While it meets general industrial pigment purity standards, it is not approved under FDA 21 CFR or equivalent global food-contact regulations. Customers requiring regulatory compliance for such uses should consult Holliday Technical Services for alternative, compliant options.
