- Light fastness: Light fastness rating is assessed on 1 to 8 Blue Wool scale where 1 = ‘Poor’ and 8 = ‘Excellent’.
- Heat Stability : Heat stability values given indicate the maximum temperature at which the pigment can be stoved for 10 min. on the full shade and in reductions without undergoing any significant change in shade.
- Oil absorption: The oil absorption is determined on the basis of EN ISO 787-5 and given in g linseed oil per 100 gm. pigment.
- Solvent bleeding: The bleeding in solvents is tested using the powder grades and the visual rating given on 1 to 5 Grey scale
where 1 = ‘Heavy bleeding’ and 5 = ‘No bleeding”

Frequently Asked Questions — PIGMENT BLUE 15:0
What is the recommended plastic processing temperature for PIGMENT BLUE 15:0?
PIGMENT BLUE 15:0 (CAS 147-14-8) is designed for plastics processed below 200°C, specifically polyethylene (PE) processing. It also works in moderate-temperature PVC (up to 180°C) without color shift. For PP, PS/SAN, ABS, and PA, the heat stability is suitable for standard injection and extrusion conditions, but for PA (nylon) processing above 200°C, we recommend testing for color retention.
How does PIGMENT BLUE 15:0 perform in plasticized PVC regarding migration and lightfastness?
In plasticized PVC, PIGMENT BLUE 15:0 delivers complete migration resistance (rating 5 on the 1-5 scale) and excellent lightfastness (rating 7-8 on the Blue Wool scale). This ensures zero bleeding into adjacent materials and long-term color stability under UV exposure, making it suitable for outdoor PVC profiles, cables, and flexible films.
Can PIGMENT BLUE 15:0 be used in PUR foam and rubber applications?
Yes, PIGMENT BLUE 15:0 (PB15:0) is applicable in polyurethane (PUR) foam and rubber substrates, extending its utility beyond standard thermoplastics. In PUR foam, it provides uniform color distribution without affecting cell structure. In rubber, it withstands vulcanization temperatures up to 160°C, although for high-temperature curing cycles, a test run is advised.
What are the key physical properties of PIGMENT BLUE 15:0 for plastic masterbatch production?
PIGMENT BLUE 15:0 has a specific density of 1.50 g/cm³ and oil absorption of 40-50 g oil/100g pigment, which influences dispersant demand in masterbatch. The specific surface area (BET) is 45-55 m²/g, ensuring good color strength at low loadings (0.1-0.5% in PE). Physical form is powder, packed in 25 kg bags (400 kg per pallet), with volatile matter below 1.0% to prevent bubbles during extrusion.
Is PIGMENT BLUE 15:0 suitable for ABS and SAN plastics without warpage or shrinkage issues?
Yes, PIGMENT BLUE 15:0 is recommended for ABS and SAN resins. Its fine particle size (D50 0.08-0.12 µm) and low nucleating effect do not cause warpage or shrinkage in molded parts. However, for ABS, the processing temperature must stay below 230°C to avoid thermal degradation of the pigment. In SAN, it provides transparent to translucent blue shades depending on loading (0.05-0.3% recommended).
