Plastic YELLOW (6G) - Pigment

Features & Benefits

Features
  • Brilliant and fully transparent (with transparent amorphous polymers such as PS - SAN - PMMA - PET)
  • Pastel, opaque and clean (in combination with titanium dioxide and / or other organic / inorganic pigments with good opacity)
  • With high light fastness (depending on dye, its percentage of use and type of polymer used)
  • Fluorescent

Applications & Uses

Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
Application
  • Plastic dyes do not apply on polyolefin materials and in the presence of plasticizers because they can present migration problems. With few exceptions, they are suitable for use in contact with food and in toys.
  • Our range includes some dyes listed as dispersed suitable to produce sublimation inks for digital printing.
