Pigment Green FAQ
What is the recommended dosage for Pigment Green in plastic applications?
For most plastic applications, we recommend 0.5-2.0% by weight depending on the desired color strength and base material. For opaque coloring in PVC, 1.0-1.5% typically achieves good coverage. Always conduct small-scale testing to determine the optimal dosage for your specific formulation.
How does Pigment Green perform in outdoor applications?
Pigment Green demonstrates excellent outdoor durability with a weather resistance rating of 5 after 12 months in Florida testing. The pigment maintains excellent color stability even under prolonged UV exposure, making it suitable for automotive coatings, outdoor furniture, and architectural applications. For maximum protection, we recommend using appropriate UV stabilizers in the formulation.
Is Pigment Green approved for food contact applications?
Our Pigment Green grade meets FDA requirements for indirect food contact (21 CFR 178.3297) when used within specified limits in plastics. For direct food contact applications, please consult our compliance documentation and verify specific regulatory requirements for your target markets. We offer different grades with varying compliance certifications.
