Pigment preparations for plastics 4Explanation of data

Migration (HDPE and PVC-p)

Migration resistance was determined in accordance with DIN 53775 by direct contact between the colored test sheet and a white, flexible PVC contact sheet.

Staining of the contact sheet was assessed using the ISO 105-A03 grayscale (GS) for assessing staining, with GS 5 denoting no migration and steps 1 to 5 being subdivided.

Application performance

A selection of performance data of the most important properties in polyolefin (HDPE) and PVC (Ba/Zn-stabilized, flexible PVC) is presented here. All data given is for the corresponding base pigment, unless otherwise stated. Pigment concentrations used are those based on powder pigments.

Organic pigments: Full shade (FS): 0.1% White reduction (WR): 0.1% + 1% TiO2 (ratio 1:10)

Inorganic pigments: Full shade (FS): 1% White reduction (WR): 0.5% + 2% TiO2 (ratio 1:4)

Light fastness (HDPE and PVC-p)

Light fastness was determined using Xenon lamp exposure tests in accordance with the equivalent test methods ISO 4892-2 or ISO 105-B02.

The samples were assessed against the 1–8 Blue Wool Scale as described in ISO 105-B02, Blue Wool 8 denoting the highest light fastness.

Polymer suitability

Possible fields of application are shown in the table, opposite each pigment. Please note that these are intended only as a general guide.

The group of technical polymers includes styrenics as well as engineering plastics. It is advisable to check the suitability of the technical polymer for the desired mono-pigment concentrates with the respective pigments, as described in the shade card for organic and inorganic pigments for plastics. (Reference EVP-2013/04E)

Heat resistance (HDPE)

Heat resistance was determined by injection molding in accordance with ISO 12877-2.

The results show the highest temperature at which the color difference, versus a standard, is no greater than GS 4 on the ISO 105-A02 grayscale for assessing color change.

For most of the inorganic pigments and some high-performance organic pigments, a GS rating of 5 is achieved at the highest testing temperature of 300 °C. Therefore, heat resistance above 300 °C can be achieved under certain circumstances.

Color shades

All organic pigment shades shown here are based on a full shade concentration of 0.2% powder pigment; violets are an exception, where 0.1% powder pigment was used. In the white reductions, the illustrations are based on the respective powder pigment concentration to achieve 1/3 ISD based on 5% TiO2.

Inorganic pigment shades are based on a full shade concentration of 2% powder pigment and a ratio of 1:4 for white reduc-tions.

Explanation of data

Pigment preparations for plastics 5Explanation of data

Warping (HDPE)

Influence on the warping tendency of injection-molded HDPE articles was determined in accordance with ISO 294-4/ASTM D955.

Warping tendency was assessed as follows:

§ None (N): No significant influence under laboratory test conditions and widely confirmed in practice.

§ Low (L): Slight influence determined in laboratory testing but successful in practice.

§ High (H): Significant influence in the laboratory and in practice. Use for large or complex HDPE injection moldings is not recommended.

Bulk density

Bulk density was determined by the weight of a product sample that can be contained in a vessel of specified volume and is expressed as kg/l. Assessment was in accordance with ISO/R 787-11.

Weather resistance* (HDPE and PVC-p)

Weather resistance was determined using Xenon light exposure tests in accordance with the equivalent test methods ASTM G155, ISO 4892-2, or the former Ciba internal test method WOM 119/50.

The HDPE samples were exposed for up to 3,000 hours and the PVC-p samples for up to 5,000 hours.

Color changes were assessed using the ISO 105-A02 grayscale (GS) for assessing color change, with GS 5 denoting no change and GS 1 denoting the lowest weather resistance.

Pigment content

Average pigment concentration [%] in the respective concentrate is a nominal value. This value is intended only as a guideline. In practice, the specifications for the mono-pigment concentrates are set to achieve the correct color appearance and color strength.

Hot light fastness* (PVC-p)

Exposure was carried out to 600 kJ/m2 in accordance with ASTM SAE J2412 (formally ASTM SAE J1885).

Color changes were assessed using the ISO 105-A02 grayscale (GS) for assessing color change, with GS 5 denoting no change and GS 1 denoting the lowest hot light fastness.

Explanation of data

* Hot light fastness and weather resistance ratings below GS 3 are not included in this pattern card. Products with a low performance are not recommended for these applications.

Micranyl® products are specifi-cally recommended for mass coloration of flexible and semi-rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films and may also be used for PVC extrusion or injection molding applications. Due to their conformity to anti-fogging requirements, Micranyl® Q products may be considered for automotive applications.

Microlith® KP The Microlith® KP range consists of specially prepared mono-pigment concentrates, mainly based on high- performance organic pigments as well as titanium dioxide and carbon black at a concentration of between 40% and 70%. These products are finely pre-dispersed in a vinyl copolymer resin, which often leads to greatly enhanced coloristic properties of the pigments. Therefore, Microlith® KP products can be used in all applications which require utmost pigment dispersion levels, extreme transparency, and dichroism-free colorations, such as stretched calendared rigid PVC film, lamination and decoration films, blown rigid PVC film and bottles.


The color shade is indicative. The actual shade in use depends on the formulation and may vary. * Product that has been evaluated with BASF’s Sustainable Solution Steering method and contributes substantially to sustainability in the value chain.** All data are based on the testing concentration as mentioned on page 4 under “Application performance”.*** At temperatures above 200 °C diarylide pigments may decompose. Users are advised to follow the recommendations of ETAD information No. 2.
