Features Of Pigment System FR52

  1. High thermal stability up to 280°C, suitable for demanding high-temperature processing.

  2. Excellent dispersion performance in both polar and non-polar polymer matrices.

  3. Low volatility and minimal migration, ensuring long-term color consistency and compliance with food-contact regulations (EU 10/2011, FDA 21 CFR).

  4. UV-resistant formulation with enhanced lightfastness (ASTM D4303 Level 7–8).

  5. Halogen-free and REACH-compliant, supporting sustainable manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications Of Pigment System FR52

  1. Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) injection-molded automotive interior parts.

  2. Food-grade packaging films and rigid containers.

  3. Engineering thermoplastics including ABS and PC for consumer electronics housings.

  4. Masterbatch production for fiber spinning in technical textiles.

  5. Exterior-grade PVC profiles requiring weather resistance and color retention.

Pigment System FR52 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is Pigment System FR52 primarily designed for?

A: Pigment System FR52 is a specialized, thermally stable pigment dispersion formulated for use in high-performance polymer systems—particularly polyolefins, engineering thermoplastics, and thermoplastic elastomers—where consistent coloration, excellent dispersion stability, and resistance to processing degradation are required.


Q2: Is Pigment System FR52 suitable for food-contact applications?

A: Pigment System FR52 is not pre-certified for food-contact use. Its suitability depends on the final formulation, processing conditions, and compliance verification against applicable regional regulations. Customers must conduct full regulatory assessment—including migration testing—when targeting food-contact applications.


Q3: How should Pigment System FR52 be incorporated into polymer melts?

A: It is typically introduced via masterbatch dilution or direct addition during extrusion or injection molding. For optimal dispersion, ensure adequate melt residence time and shear energy; pre-drying is generally not required unless ambient humidity is exceptionally high.


Q4: Does Pigment System FR52 contain heavy metals or halogenated compounds?

A: Pigment System FR52 is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, mercury, or hexavalent chromium) and does not contain halogenated carriers or solvents. Final compliance with RoHS, REACH SVHC, or similar restrictions should be confirmed through material declarations provided per batch.
