JCOLOR^® JC-100 Fluorescent Pigment

FORMALDEHYDE-FREE

With broad compatibility in most plastics, J COLOR JC-100 fluorescent pigment exhibits many advanced properties: brilliant clean fluoresce, superior tinting strength, melt-in type, easy mixing over the range of 135 to 230℃, low plateout, no formaldehyde emission, good low-temperature (150 to 180℃) dispersion, etc. JC-100 series is thus recommended for processes such as extrusion, injection molding and blow molding. in manufacturing of toys, safety equipment, graphic sheeting, display packaging, vacuum-formed products, banners, and many other eye-catching substance.

Key Specifications of the Pigment:

 Processing Advantages

-         Formaldehyde-free. Environmental-friendly.

-         Melt-in type with low softening point

-         Broad processing temperature range between 135 - 230℃

-         Greatly reduced plateout in processing equipment, resulting in less downtime.

-         A neutral additive; dose not add or detract from the lubricity of the plastic for processing

-         excellent heat resistance,

 Caution: Some color shift may occur under severe heat conditions. The addition of one part antioxidant per hundred parts of plastic to be processed is recommended to minimize color shift.

 Application in Plastics

As universal plastic colorant, JC100 pigments are recommended for the following plastics:

     +  recommended
     +/- recommended, but thorough test before using is necessary.

 Suggested Colorant Level

 For transparent plastics, the fluorescent pigment level needed to develop fluorescent brilliance versus the thickness of the plastic part are recommended below:  

 For opaque plastics, fluorescent pigment produces only surface fluorescence, regardless of the concentration of pigment used.

 Colorfastness

The degree of colorfastness of JC-100 pigments depends on the type of plastic, concentration of colorant, film thickness, type and direction of exposure.

 The incorporation of less than 1.0% ultraviolet screen of benaophenone or benzotriazole types may result in up to 30% improvement in colorfastness. Clear acrylic coatings containing 2 to 4% of UV screens are also usually effective in enhancing colorfastness. However, one should be careful in selecting a compatible UV screen for the particular plastic systems.

Storage

Under conditions that are cool, dry, covered, away from direct sunlight and free of airborne contaminates, the shelf life of the JC-100 pigments will be indefinite. Upon extended exposure to heat and humidity, JC-100 pigments may form lumps that need to  be pulverized before use.

Toxicity

JC-100 fluorescent pigments are essentially non-toxic with zero formaldehyde emission and extremely low heavy-metal content, safe to be applied in end products such as toys. Material safety data sheet or MSDS is available upon request.
