Pigment System FR62 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is Pigment System FR62 primarily designed for?

A: Pigment System FR62 is a pre-dispersed, solvent-free pigment system engineered for consistent coloration and enhanced dispersion stability in high-performance thermoplastic compounds—especially polyolefins, engineering plastics, and elastomers used in automotive, industrial, and durable goods applications.


Q2: Is Pigment System FR62 suitable for food-contact or medical-grade polymers?

A: While FR62 is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals or regulated plasticizers, it is not pre-certified for food-contact or medical applications. End-use compliance requires full formulation evaluation—including migration testing and regulatory review—by the compounder or end-user according to applicable regional requirements.


Q3: How does FR62 differ from conventional pigment concentrates?

A: Unlike standard masterbatches, FR62 features an optimized carrier-resin match and proprietary wetting/dispersing technology that reduces agglomeration risk, improves batch-to-batch color consistency, and supports efficient incorporation at lower shear—particularly beneficial in sensitive or heat-sensitive polymer systems.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for Pigment System FR62 in final compounds?

A: Dosage depends on the target color strength, polymer type, and processing conditions—but FR62 is generally used at low concentrations, typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight, with most applications falling between 0.3% and 1.2%.
