Holliday 5003 Ultramarine Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key performance advantages of Holliday 5003 compared to standard ultramarine pigments?

A: Holliday 5003 offers enhanced thermal stability and improved resistance to acidic environments relative to conventional ultramarines, making it particularly suitable for applications involving elevated processing temperatures or mildly acidic matrices. Its optimized particle size distribution also contributes to superior tinting strength and dispersion consistency in demanding systems.


Q2: Is Holliday 5003 compatible with PVC compounds, especially in rigid profiles and calendered films?

A: Yes — Holliday 5003 is specifically engineered for compatibility with PVC-based systems, including rigid extrusions and flexible calendered films. It demonstrates good resistance to degradation during PVC processing and maintains color integrity under typical fusion conditions without promoting undesirable sulfide-related discoloration.


Q3: How should Holliday 5003 be dispersed for optimal color development and stability?

A: For best results, pre-dispersion using high-shear mixing or twin-screw compounding is recommended. It disperses effectively in both aqueous and organic media, though formulation-specific wetting agents may be required depending on the carrier system. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong acids or highly chlorinated solvents during dispersion.


Q4: Can Holliday 5003 be used in food-contact plastics?

A: Holliday 5003 is not certified for direct food-contact applications under current global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for industrial, architectural, and non-food consumer goods where regulatory compliance for migration is not required. Always consult local regulations and conduct application-specific testing before use in regulated end-uses.
