Oil Soluble Yellow FAQ
What is the recommended dosage of Oil Soluble Yellow in plastic applications?
The typical usage level ranges from 0.01% to 0.5% by weight depending on the desired color intensity. For opaque applications, start with 0.05-0.1% and adjust accordingly. In transparent applications, 0.01-0.03% often provides sufficient coloration. Always conduct small-scale trials to determine the optimal dosage for your specific formulation.
Is Oil Soluble Yellow suitable for food contact applications?
Our standard Oil Soluble Yellow (Solvent Yellow 14) is not generally approved for direct food contact applications. However, we offer special purity grades that may comply with certain food contact regulations depending on the application and jurisdiction. Please consult with our technical team for specific compliance information related to your intended use and regional regulations.
How should Oil Soluble Yellow be stored for maximum shelf life?
For optimal preservation, store Oil Soluble Yellow in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The recommended storage temperature is between 5°C and 30°C with relative humidity below 65%. Properly stored, the product maintains its quality for at least 24 months from production date. Always keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
