Pigment System FR60 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is Pigment System FR60 primarily designed for?

A: Pigment System FR60 is a pre-dispersed, solvent-free pigment formulation engineered for consistent coloration and enhanced processability in thermoplastic polymers—especially polyolefins, polyethylene, and polypropylene compounds used in extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding applications.


Q2: Is Pigment System FR60 suitable for food-contact or medical-grade applications?

A: Pigment System FR60 is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals or regulated plasticizers, and it complies with general industry expectations for non-food-contact industrial plastics. For food-contact or medical applications, final regulatory compliance must be confirmed by the compounder through full system testing and documentation review, as suitability depends on the entire formulation and processing conditions.


Q3: How should Pigment System FR60 be incorporated into polymer melts?

A: It is typically introduced directly into the extruder feed throat or via side-stuffer during compounding. Due to its optimized rheology and carrier compatibility, it disperses readily under standard melt-processing conditions—no pre-drying or special dosing equipment is required.


Q4: Does Pigment System FR60 affect thermal stability or mechanical properties of the base polymer?

A: When used within recommended dosage ranges, Pigment System FR60 demonstrates good thermal stability up to typical polyolefin processing temperatures and does not significantly compromise tensile strength, impact resistance, or elongation at break—provided proper dispersion is achieved and no incompatible additives are present in the formulation.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for Pigment System FR60?

A: Dosage depends on the desired color intensity, polymer type, and processing method, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the base resin.
