DayGlo Purple (MP-PR5547)

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Natural Rubbers (NR), Polypropylenes (PP), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

When stored in a cool, dry environment, MP pigments have an indefinite shelf life. Colorant containers should be kept closed to minimize contamination.

Due to its thermoset nature, the MP series greatly reduces, and in many cases eliminates, the occurrence of plate-out. Therefore, a simple purge with clear has been found to be a sufficient method of cleaning. This results in less down time for the processor due to extensive equipment clean-up.

In some instances, the MP series has been found to process easily without dispersion aids. However, if it is determined that processing aids are necessary, zinc-based additives should be avoided in the chartreuse and green shades (e.g. substitute calcium stearate for zinc stearate). The presence of zinc can tend to shift these colors, resulting in perceived "dirtiness".

In both masstone and tint form, MP produces the cleanest and brightest colors available with a degree of opacity that is not present with "melt-in" fluorescent colorants

The degree of colorfastness will be dependent on the following factors: Type of plastic, concentration of colorant, film thickness, type of exposure (outdoor versus indoor) and direction of exposure.

Fine particle size: Pigments exhibit excellent dispersability. Spherical shape: Offers excellent light scattering/opacity. Bleed resistant: Presents vinyl applications never before possible. Solvent resistant: Allows for use in wide range of solvents. Color strength: Achieves strong colors without sacrificing cleanliness. Broad compatibility: Formulations can be prepared in a wide range of systems.
