LIGHT FASTNESS IN HDPE

The light fastness in white reduction was determined on

injection molded plaques at SD ⅓ with 1% titanium dioxide
in an artificial light exposure according to DIN EN ISO 4892.
For the light fastness in full shade, the same pigment
concentration was tested without titanium dioxide.
Assessments were against the 8-step blue wool scale,
where 8 refers to very good light fastness and 1 very poor
light fastness.

LIGHT FASTNESS IN PLASTICIZED PVC

The light fastness in white reduction was determined at
0.1% pigment with 0.5% titanium dioxide in an artificial light
exposure according to DIN EN ISO 4892. The same
concentration without titanium dioxide was tested for the
light fastness of transparent formulations. Assessments
were against the 8-step blue wool scale.

SUITABILITY FOR LOW WARPING APPLICATIONS

Some organic pigments can have a negative influence on
the dimensional stability of polyolefins. This behavior is
referred to as the ‘Potential to induce warpage’ and is at its
most extreme in HDPE injection molding applications. The
influence of a pigment to induce warpage was tested for
by measuring the dimensional changes in the horizontal
and vertical planes of a rectangular injection molded plate
in HDPE comparing colored (0.1% pigment) and uncolored
plates. The plates were injection molded at 280°C.
Pigments which have a heat resistance below 280°C have
been injection molded at 220°C.

MIGRATION - BLEED FASTNESS

Fastness to bleeding was tested in plasticized PVC by
direct contact of a pigmented film (0.1 %) for 2 h at 140°C
with a white-pigmented film. Staining of the white-
pigmented film was evaluated against the »5 step gray
scale for assessing staining according to DIN EN 20105-
A03 whereby »5 denotes no bleeding.

APPLICATIONS IN OTHER POLYMERS

The suitability of a particular pigment in Polystyrene (PS),
Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT ), Polycarbonate (PC) and
Polyamide 6 (PA 6) is indicated using the following key:
l Suitable – Technically recommended for the application
according to internal testing methods.
mLimited suitability – Technically suitable for the
application, some restrictions may apply.
– Not suitable – Technically unsuitable according to
internal testing methods.
