Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Nubiola C-84?
A: Nubiola C-84 is a synthetic sodium aluminosilicate pigment with polysulfide chromophores, belonging to the ultramarine blue family. Its color arises from sulfur-containing anionic radicals trapped within a zeolitic lattice structure.
Q2: Is Nubiola C-84 suitable for use in food-contact plastics or packaging applications?
A: Nubiola C-84 is not intended for direct food-contact applications. It is approved for use in certain industrial and decorative coatings, inks, and non-food-grade plastics where regulatory compliance does not require food-contact certification.
Q3: How stable is Nubiola C-84 under acidic conditions?
A: Ultramarine pigments, including C-84, are sensitive to low pH environments. Prolonged exposure to acids below pH 5 may cause fading or discoloration due to degradation of the polysulfide chromophores. Neutral to alkaline processing and application conditions are strongly recommended.
Q4: What is the typical dosage range for Nubiola C-84 in polymer masterbatches?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and base polymer transparency, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in masterbatch formulations.
Q5: Can Nubiola C-84 be dispersed in water-based systems?
A: Yes, C-84 can be incorporated into aqueous dispersions using appropriate surfactants and high-shear mixing. However, its hydrophilic nature requires careful stabilization to prevent agglomeration and ensure long-term dispersion stability.
