- Heat Stability
ZQ Pigments offer excellent heat stability in injection molded plastics when compared to other thermoplastic fluorescent pigments commercially available. The maximum recommended processing temperature is 575ºF.
- Material Features
- Excellent Compatibility
- Good Thermal Stability
- Low Plateout
- Low Processing Temperature
- HIGHLIGHTS
DayGlo® ZQ™ Pigments are an improved version of DayGlo Z™ Pigments. They offer lower mold plate-out, increased plastic compatibility, require lower processing temperatures, and have larger particle size to reduce dusting.

- Chemical Nature & Dispersion Properties
ZQ Pigments are a solid solution of fluorescent dyes in a thermoplastic modified polyamide resin. To ensure complete color development when incorporating ZQ Pigments into plastic resins, it is essential the minimum processing temperature of 350o F (175o C) is reached in order to completely melt and evenly distribute the pigment throughout the plastic.
