Tinting strength: Expressed in g of pigment per kg of plastic which is required, together with
1% rutile TiO2, to attain the standard color depth of 1/25, according to DIN 53235

Weather fastness: Expressed as delta E after x hours of exposure to Xenon arc accelerated
weathering equipment (according to ISO 4892-2) for ABS and PC; delta E after 2 years Florida
exposure for PP/HDPE, (tested in masstone at 1% pigmentation level, except for PC at 0.5%)

Due to the UV absorbing
characteristics of cerium
sulfide, Neolor™ pigments
provide improved UVfastness to most resins.

Neolor Comparisons - Lt Orange S, Orange S & Red S
Infra-Red Reflecting: Neolor pigment reflects infra-red efficiently. Polypropylene plastics with 0.5%
of Neolor has a TSR(total solar reflectance) of 37% to 42% instead of 13% for the one without
Neolor pigment.
