NANOX Advanced Pigments Controlled Free-Sulfur • Low FPV • Sub-0.1% Moisture
RS Pigments high-performance engineered pigment platform tailored specifically for demanding masterbatch extrusion, thin-gauge films, synthetic microfibers, and zero-corrosion automotive interior plastics.
Engineered For Zero Tolerance Applications
Addressing critical extrusion defects: mold deposit, screen blinding, and volatile sulfur emissions.
Controlled Free Sulfur (< 0.05%)
Eliminates sulfurous outgassing and prevents mold corrosion in high-precision hot runner injection tooling and automotive interior plastics.
Low Filter Pressure Value (FPV)
Meets DIN EN 13900-5 extrusion screening tests with minimal backpressure rise, avoiding filter pack blockage in continuous spinning and film extrusion.
Sub-0.1% Moisture Content
Ultra-low residual moisture eliminates micro-foaming, pinholes, and dielectric breakdown in polyolefin cable sheathing and thin-gauge agricultural films.
Non-Nucleating Crystal Cage
Completely eliminates differential shrinkage and dimensional distortion in high-speed cap, closure, and thin-wall container molding.
Standard Ultramarine vs. NANOX Advanced Series
Clear technical differentiation verified across high-volume compounding trials.
| Technical Parameter | Standard Ultramarine Blue | NANOX Advanced Formulation |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical Foundation | Synthetic Ultramarine (PB 29) | Surface-Optimized Ultramarine Complex |
| Free Sulfur Content | 0.10% – 0.25% | < 0.05% (Controlled Minimization) |
| Moisture (at 105°C) | 0.50% – 1.0% | < 0.10% (Ultra-dry conditioning) |
| Filter Pressure Value (DIN EN 13900-5) | 1.2 – 2.5 bar/g | < 0.5 bar/g (Ultra-low screening resistance) |
| Particle Size Distribution | Broad monomodal (0.5 – 3.0 µm) | Tight, narrow bell curve (sub-micron centered) |
| Thermal Stability | Up to 300°C | Up to 350°C (Extended dwell endurance) |
| Mold Deposit Tendency | Low to moderate over long runs | Virtually nil (Clean tooling performance) |

NANOX Technical FAQ
Compounding inquiries, test methods, and commercial availability.
What is NANOX and how does it differ from standard Ultramarine Blue?
NANOX is RS Pigments flagship high-performance brand engineered for precision extrusion, masterbatch compounding, and automotive components requiring negligible mold deposit, low filter pressure value, and zero odor. It undergoes specialized multi-stage purification and thermal conditioning to minimize volatile free-sulfur content and lower moisture below 0.1%.
What is Filter Pressure Value (FPV) and why is it important for masterbatch?
Filter Pressure Value (FPV), measured under DIN EN 13900-5, quantifies pigment dispersibility in a molten polymer passed through a standardized screen filter. A high FPV means agglomerates are clogging the filter, causing high backpressure, frequent screen changes, and yarn breakage in fiber production. NANOX delivers an ultra-low FPV (< 0.5 bar/g).
Why is low free-sulfur essential for automotive applications?
Free sulfur can cause silver or copper terminal corrosion in electrical systems, foul precision mold cavities, and produce objectionable odor during high-temperature injection molding. NANOX controls free sulfur to < 0.05%, making it safe for interior automotive trims and electrical enclosures.
How can our compounding lab obtain a NANOX Technical Datasheet (TDS)?
Grade-specific technical datasheets (TDS) and Certificates of Analysis (CoA) with batch-specific particle size distribution and FPV data are provided directly upon commercial inquiry through our technical portal.
