DX Series Fluorescent Pigment
Properties
iSuo™ DX is a general purpose series of thermoplastic fluorescent pigment designed for applications where resistance to strong solvents is not needed. It performs well in a system based on aliphatic and some aromatic hydrocarbons and is also suitable in water-based systems where prolonged shelf-life is not required. It has strong color strength and excellent brightness,and also can be used in injection molded plastics in which the processing temperature is below 195℃

Solvent: It is a dyed/pigmented melamine toluene-sulfonamide formaldehyde thermoplastic copolymer.
Application
- Injection molded plastics (PP/PE/PVC)below 195℃.
- Clay coloring.
Features
- Thermoplastic general purpose grades offering excellent brightness and color strength.
- Heavy metals comply with EN 71-3 requirements for toys.
Light-fastness
Fluorescent pigments are stable to indoor light or outdoor conditions without direct sunlight. By exposure to outdoor sunlight the color will change, whereby the degree of fading is depending on Color of the pigment, Type of polymer carrier, Intensity of the incident sunlight, Pigment loading and thickness of the end product (The higher the pigment concentration is, the better the light-fastness is).
Remark: The light-fastness may be improved by including UV-absorber(s) in the formulation and/or by making use of clear overcoats contai-ning UV-absorber(s).
Heat-stability
If used in plastic injection moulding DX pigments can hold processing temperature below 195°C.
Storage
It should be kept in cool place and away from heat. All opened bags should be carefully resealed immediately after use.
Toxicity
It is essentially non-hazardous and non-toxic with extremely low heavy-metal content. Material safety data sheet (MSDS) is available upon request.
