Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Nubirox 106?
A: Nubirox 106 is an inorganic iron oxide-based pigment, engineered for high thermal and light stability, with a composition centered on alpha-Fe₂O₃ and carefully controlled surface characteristics to support dispersion and compatibility in demanding polymer systems.
Q2: Is Nubirox 106 suitable for food-contact plastics?
A: Yes — Nubirox 106 is manufactured under strict quality control and complies with global regulatory expectations for pigments used in food-contact applications, including FDA 21 CFR §178.3297 and EU Directive 2002/72/EC (as amended), subject to final formulation validation and migration testing by the compounder.
Q3: How does Nubirox 106 perform in high-temperature processing such as injection molding or extrusion?
A: It exhibits excellent thermal stability up to 350°C, maintaining consistent color and minimal degradation during standard polyolefin, polyester, and engineering plastic processing — making it well-suited for high-shear and high-temperature operations.
Q4: What is the typical dosage range for optimal coloration 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 compounds — with good dispersion achievable using standard compounding equipment.
