Pigment Red FAQ
What makes Pigment Red different from other red pigments?
Pigment Red 112 offers superior brightness and color strength compared to conventional red pigments. Its unique molecular structure provides excellent dispersion properties and outstanding resistance to solvents, acids and alkalis. Unlike other red pigments that may fade over time, our Pigment Red maintains its vibrant hue even under prolonged UV exposure.
Can Pigment Red be used in food packaging applications?
Yes, our Pigment Red is specifically formulated to meet global food contact regulations including FDA 21 CFR 178.3297 and EU 10/2011 standards. It contains no heavy metals or restricted aromatic amines, making it safe for indirect food contact applications when used according to recommended guidelines.
What is the recommended dosage of Pigment Red in plastic formulations?
The optimal concentration of Pigment Red varies by application. For most plastic resins (PP, PE, PS), we recommend 0.5-2.5% by weight. For masterbatch production, concentrations up to 30-50% may be used. Always conduct small-scale tests to determine the exact ratio needed for your specific color requirements and base material characteristics.
