Chartreuse, Green , Orange-Yellow, Orange, Orange-Red, Red , Cerise , Pink, Magenta, Blue, Purple

Chemical nature:

A solid solution of fluorescent dyes in an amino resin

Highlight of Properties:

Thermoset, narrow distributed microspherical particles render properties of good resistance to solvent and bleed, and excellent light scattering and opacity, dispersability, tinting strength, and broad compatibility.

Recommended Applicatoins:

Bleed Resistant Vinyl Plastisols, Specialty Coatings/Inks, Solvent Sensitive Systems, and Crayons

Physical properties:

Shape and state:

Solid micron-sized spherical particles

pH:

3.8~ 6 (5% dispersion in water)

*Moisture*:

< 4% (2 gram under 140C for 0.5 hours)

Specific Gravity:

1.3 (20C)

Solvent Resistance:

Not soluble in most solvent systems. (Solubility is tested in a 40C water bath for 30 minutes. Following the solubility test, appearance of the supernatant is observed and marked for bleed scales.)

Bleed Resistance:

Bleed scales:  0 – negligible;  1 – slight;  2 – moderate; 3 – considerable

*Particle Size* (Microscope):

Maximum 10 mm

*Particle Size*

Average <5 mm

Softening Point:

~270C

Decomposition Point:

> 300C

Maximum Processing Temperature:

260C

*Color assessment*:

Shade (hue) and strength are compared against an approved standard by trained technicians upon preparing side-by-side drawdowns and placed in standard light box equipped with UV and D65 light source.

Storage: 

Under conditions that are cool, dry, covered, away from direct sunlight and free of airborne contaminates, VQ-D pigments have an indefinite shelf life.

Toxicity:

Tests conducted through independent laboratories have found JCOLOR® VQ-D-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.
