GENERAL INFORMATION

Commercial Name: LIPOPLAST

Description:

Fredcolor offers a wide range of colour dyestuffs for use in masterbatches,

preparations and compounds - the commercial name of those products is: LIPOPLAST.

The wide range of LIPOPLAST colours provides excellent tint strength and a great

transparency in various polymers. In opaque tones, in combination with Titanium Dioxide, they

also provide an excellent yield even in small doses.

The melt point of the LIPOPLAST dyestuffs should be kept in mind for their total distribution

in the polymer. Whenever the melt point of the dyestuff is lower than the melt point of the

resin, a total homogenisation will be obtained.

Applications: The following polymers have been tested with LIPOPLAST:

GPPS - POLYSTYRENE (GENERAL PURPOSE)

PMMA – POLYMETHYL METACRYLATE

PC - POLYCARBONATE

PA6 - POLYAMID 6

ABS – ACRYLONITRILE BUTADIENE STYRENE

PET – POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTALATE

Other applications:

Powder coatings, SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile), Phenolic resins, Solvents,

Soaps, Varnishes, Acetobutyrate of Cellulose, Petroleum, Acrylic Resins, Explosives and Lubricant

Oils.

It is for these applications that we have mentioned the solubility of LIPOPLAST in different

solvents.

Warning:

In formulations containing plasticisers, the stability should be checked to prevent migration,

in order to avoid possible problems in the final product.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS

LIGHTFASTNESS

The samples have been tested according to ISO 105B02, using the scale of blue 1-8 (Blue wool scale) .

The minimum stability is 1 while the maximum is 8.

STABILITY TO MIGRATION

Tested in a coloured batch in contact with another batch of the same polymer containing 1% of TiO2

During 3 days at 50 ºC. No observed stain is considered as “N” not migratory; in the event of some

Discoloration taking place, it is denominated “migratory Mo”(moderated).

HEAT STABILITY

Tested in an injection-moulding machine with a permanency in the screw of 5 minutes.

When the Delta AND is above 1.7, it means 4 in the INTERNATIONAL scale of GRAY,: when it indicates

5, it means that the coloured resin has not experienced any change.

The heat stability has been based on cycles without interruption in the resins, as indicated in this

information sheet.

The dilutions illustrated in the LIPOPLAST catalogue have been obtained with the following proportions:

TLL: 0.05% OF DYESTUFF

TR: 0.05% OF DYESTUFF + 0.5% OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE (KRONOS 2222)
