The pigments have been illustrated using a special printing method. The standards used to obtain the matchings were injection molded HDPE color plaques with a pigment content equal to ⅓ standard depth of shade (SD ⅓) ‘full shade’ and with 1 % titanium dioxide in reduction.
Shade deviations in the application are possible and the prints are not suitable for colorimetry measurement or the testing of fastness properties.
The values quoted for the fastness properties and the concentrations to standard depth of shade only apply for our test conditions. Any change in operating parameters, e.g. type and settings of the equipment, specific polymer substrate, concentrations, processing temperature and time can result in different values. We therefore recommend customers to conduct their own tests under the relevant working conditions before use.
The value quoted is the weight in grams (g) colorant per kg polymer required to obtain SD ⅓ according to DIN 53235. For HDPE the value relates to the pigment concentration with 1 % TiO , and for PVC with 5 % TiO .
Resistance to heat was tested according to DIN EN 12877 at SD ⅓ with 1% titanium dioxide in the injection molding process. The values quoted are the temperatures in °C at which, after a dwell time of 5 min, a color change equivalent to a ∆E*ab = 3 (DIN EN ISO 11664-4) is obtained.
* NOTE TO HEAT RESISTANCE - For the diarylide group of pigments a heat stability of 200°C is given due to the potential for thermal decomposition (refer to relevant safety data sheets). This applies even if the shade of the pigment would remain stable at higher temperatures.
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
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.
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.
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 whitepigmented film was evaluated against the »5 step gray scale for assessing staining according to DIN EN 20105- A03 whereby »5 denotes no bleeding.

OBAs function by absorbing light in the UVA range (320–400 nm) and re-emitting light in the visible blue range (400–480nm).
The mechanism involves the excitation of the brightener molecule by UV light that raises its energy level from the ground state to a higher excited state. As the molecule returns to a lower state it releases energy in the form of fluorecense.
The OBA has the ability to increase reflectance and impart a blue tint. It enables a higher degree of whiteness to be achieved in polymers. Their ability to hide the inherent »yellowness« of discolored (natural and recycled) polymers facilitates color improvement in various resins. Optical brighteners work in all colored plastics, however, they are more effective in lighter shades.
The OBA is highly soluble in the polymer and therefore effective at low dosages (100–1000 ppm).
The Telalux grades are fluorescent whitening agents developed for brightening (whitening) of white plastics. They are suitable for all plastics and fibers.
The optical brighteners give brilliant transparent effects in glass-clear plastics. In pigmented white plastics they give brilliant, high white effects with different shades depending on the nature of their structure. They have excellent resistance to heat and possess good light and weather fastness.
