Application
in Plastic Systems:
|
JC200
series has been successfully applied in HDPE, LDPE,
PP, and PS systems with minimum adjustment to the
processing conditions. In theory, it should be
also applicable in many other plastic systems, but
we suggest that the end-users perform thorough
test of their own to determine the suitability and
adjust the formulation and processing parameters
accordingly.
|
|
Lightfastness:
|
The
degree of colorfastness of JC-200 series
fluorescent pigments vary depending upon many
factors such as the specific properties and
dimensions of plastic systems, pigment loading,
presence of a protective overcoat or agent and the
light source. It is reported that an improvement
of 10 to 30% in exterior light stability results
from the incorporation of 0.5 to 1.0% of a
benzotriazole or benzophenone type UV screen. It
is essential to select an UV screen that is
compatible with the plastic in which it is to be
incorporated.

approved standard by trained technicians upon
preparing plastic chips and placed in standard
light box containing UV and D65.

Storage:
|
Under
conditions that are cool, dry, covered, away from
direct sunlight and free of airborne contaminates,
JC200 pigments have an indefinite shelf
life.
|
Toxicity:
|
Tests
conducted through independent laboratories have
found JCOLOR® JC200-Series Fluorescent
Pigments to be "essentially non-toxic."
MSDS is available upon request. Good
industrial hygiene and handling methods are
essential in the use of all products whether or
not they are determined to be hazardous.
