Plasticolors® CF-03023

Plasticolors® CF-03023 by Chromaflo Technologies is a blue color copper phthalocyanine pigment. It is pumpable, flowable and pourable in a manner that makes it exceptionally easy to handle. Its ability to achieve low viscosity allows for less waste left over in the container. Pigment solid concentration is optimized to balance viscosity with the color strength. Plasticolors® CF-03023 contains no solvents or reactive monomers. It is heavy metal-free and produces high tint strength. It is dispersed in a low molecular weight unsaturated polyester resin. The unsaturation allows for cross-linking through double bonds as occurs in peroxide-cured polyesters or vinyl esters in the presence of a reactive monomer, such as styrene. In addition, the secondary hydroxyl groups provide a means to crosslink the resin with polyisocyanates. When cross-linked with or covalently reacted the CF resin is fully converted to a portion of the matrix solids. It is also compatible with acrylate monomers. It is best suited for the SMC, BMC, TMC, pultrusion, polyester cast and polymer concrete processes. It can also be used in panel and cast polymer. It has shelf life of 24 months.
