Q1: What are the primary application areas for MAB-18 Organic Pigment?
A: MAB-18 is widely used in high-performance industrial coatings, automotive refinish systems, and engineering plastics where excellent chroma, thermal stability, and lightfastness are required. It is also suitable for selected ink formulations demanding good dispersion and color strength.
Q2: How should MAB-18 be dispersed in polymer systems?
A: Optimal dispersion is achieved using high-shear mixing or extrusion compounding. Pre-treatment with compatible dispersants or surface modifiers is recommended to enhance pigment wetting and minimize agglomeration—especially in non-polar resins such as polyolefins and styrenics.
Q3: Is MAB-18 suitable for food-contact applications?
A: MAB-18 is not certified for direct food-contact use. It is intended for industrial and decorative applications only. Customers requiring food-safe pigments should consult our regulatory team for alternative, compliant options.
Q4: What is the typical dosage range for MAB-18 in coating formulations?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and substrate opacity, but MAB-18 is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in the final formulation—to achieve strong coloration without compromising film integrity.
