    Technical Details & Test Data

    Technical Data

    Fastness to bleeding:

    • Suitability for dyeing household utensils
    • No staining of distilled water, 2% by weight acetic acid, 10% by volume ethanol, coconut oil or peanut oil in our test on 0.1% dyeing of PS, ABS, SAN, PMMA, PC, PET and PVC-U.
    • The tests were carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the German BfR [for plastic applications (saturated strips of filter paper, 5h at 50°C)].

    Purity: 

    • This dyestuff meets current purity requirements for dyeing household utensils and toys in Europe.
