- Features & Benefits
- Pigment is well-dispersed, using a high-end grinding technology optimized to obtain maximum color values, providing a wider and deeper color shades and improved physical properties, preventing viscosity- and stability-related problems.
- High color strength at minimum dosage is a favorable characteristic which enables users to introduce the least amount of foreign material that can result to minimal or no impact on the polyurethane system.
- Raw materials used are solvent-free and non-reactive which do not affect the stoichiometric balance of the polyol and isocyanate reactants in the system.
- Complying to RoHS regulations, the raw materials do not contain any metals or any hazardous substances that may significantly disturb the foam formation.
- Pigment used has good lightfastness, solvent and chemical resistance, which preserves the performance of polyurethane foams.
- Cleaner shade and undertone, allows more accurate color matches for a wide color selection enabling users to produce various colors of their choice.
- High %non-volatility is a complimentary property of the pigment dispersion preventing the unwanted reactivity of isocyanates with moisture.
Applications & Uses
- Industrial Additives End Use
- Applications
- It is used for in-plant tinting of polyurethane foam. It is available in a soft paste dispersion most specifically designed for flexible and slabstock foam. It is formulated for ease of use and color acceptance and compatibility with polyols and isocyanate components of polyurethane systems.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
- Red 17021 is packed in plastic pail, 20kgs / pail. Special packing can be arranged.
Storage & Handling
- Handling
- The dispersion must be mixed well before usage. The container must be tightly sealed to avoid airborne pollutants, and it must be stored in a cool and dry place to prevent moisture absorption that may cause unwanted bacteria and fungi growth. Shelf life is one year from the date of production for unopened finished goods stored under good conditions - clean environment and ambient temperatures.
