4. 12.05.2010
Pigments
Solid colorants (particles), which are practically insoluble in the polymer
Organic pigments
Are mainly used in polyolefin, PVC & styrenics
Potential in EPL, but certain restrictions: High temperature / Solubility
Inorganic pigments
In general fully suitable in all polymers including EPL, but limitations in
regards to coloristic (color area / chroma / opacity)
Dyes (Polymer soluble colorants)
Colorants, which are soluble in the application medium by losing their
crystal structure
Are used in styrenics, EPL & partly in r-PVC
Extremely limited in semi-crystalline polymers: High migration

In general
CLP offers low to good enough processing & application perform.
HPP covers good to excellent processing & application perform.
Be aware
Some CLP’s are covering also the HPP area
(e.g. Mono-azo Yellows or Cu-Phthalocyanine)
Therefore, more precise differentiation is necessary

25. 12.05.2010
 Heat resistance
Almost all offer highest performance (up to 340°C – 360°C in PC)
Only S.B. 67 has some limitations
Polyamide: Most difficult polymer due to the aggressive melt.
Only few products are suitable or show potential.
 Migration fastness
Strongly depending on type and polymer
No to low tendency PC, PET and PMMA
 Light fastness
Depends on polymer, in general good to very good
 Weather resistance (PC, PET & PMMA)
Depends on polymer, in general good to very good
Stronger decrease in combination with TiO2
Bleeding tendency
No bleeding is observed under tested conditions
