The ARALON ARAQUA-10 Lemon Fluorescent Pigment is a formaldehyde-free solution designed for waterborne formulations, offering exceptional stability and brightness. Perfect for applications requiring high water resistance, this pigment ensures easy mixing, superior color strength, and fluorescence. With a melting point exceeding 80°C and excellent light stability, it outperforms formaldehyde-containing and benzoguanamine pigments. Ideal for olefins, paints, inks, and more, the ARAQUA-10 series guarantees longevity, heat endurance, and minimal plate out for a wide range of industrial uses.

Additional Information Additional Information
Compared to older technologies of formaldehyde free fluorescent pigments for waterborne formulations, the ARAQUA-10 pigments show outstanding stability in waterborne formulations.Compared to formaldehyde containing pigments, the ARAQUA-10 pigments have 70% higher light stability in acrylic formulations. Compared to benzoguanamine pigments, the light stability is even 400 - 500% higher.
Features Features
Formaldehyde-freeVery high stability in waterborne formulations.Improved light stability compared to formaldehyde containing pigments.Decomposition T > 280 ºC.Melting point > 80 ºC
Light Fastness And Heat Stability Light Fastness And Heat Stabil
Light FastnessARAQUA-10 series can partially resist the multiple factors, generally known to influence light fastness. Depending on the shade, values up to maximally 6 on the BWS can be achieved (30% pigment, UV-Top Coat, 150 μm layer thickness, ARAQUA-100 LEMON, acrylic paint). Light stability is 70% - 100% higher comparted to known formaldehyde containing fluorescent melamine pigments and about 400 - 500% higher compared to benzoguanamine pigments.Heat StabilityARAQUA-10 series can withstand temperatures of 70 ºC for up to 3 minutes without affecting the perceived shades. They might be used also for coloring olefins as melting pigments, where heat stability of 260 ºC and above (depending on the color and dwell time) are given.

Regulatory And Ecotox Regulatory And Ecotox
All non-polymeric components are registered in EINECS and TSCA (incl. polymers in TSCA).All non-polymeric components are registered respectively preregistered in REACHEN71 part 3 conformity (purity requirement). Still tests have to carried on final application.Heavy metals free (with exception of the natural values in the ppm range).
Solvent Resistance Solvent Resistance
The results of the following method are given on the next page: Mix 1 g pigment thoroughly for 10 seconds in 10 ml of solvent to get the complete pigment wetted. Store the mixture for 37 minutes into a water bath at 37 ºC. The solvent resistance of the pigment is determined by inverting and shaking the glass tube and observing how quick the pigment particles start to flow in the solvent or not. Freely moving not attacked particles is the best (5). Totally attacked gel forming particles is worst (1). Bleeding is determined by diluting the filtrate 50 times and measuring the absorption. The worst bleeding is 1. Minor to non-bleeding is the best (5).

Storage And Shelf Life Storage And Shelf Life
ARAQUA-10 series products are stable. Provided they are stored in dry places at ambient temperatures (below 40 °C) the predicted shelf life is 60 months. However depending on the quality of storage conditions, products might be used beyond this shelf life period.
Technology And Applications Technology And Applications
ARALON® ARAQUA-10 is developed as an optimal choice for water resistance demanding applications. Fluorescent dyes are dissolved & bonded, encapsulated respectively embedded in a hybrid carrier. The chemical respectively physical bond ensure highest possible resistance against migration and staining. The solid solution is milled to optimal particle size. This technology results in ARALON® ARAQUA-10 as excellent STIR-IN pigments.The chemical nature of the ARALON® ARAQUA-10 carrier as modified hybrid cured resin and its pigment engineering deliver beside the high water resistance an optimum balance between color strength and fluorescence / brightness. The resination ensures best STIR-IN quality, just mixing and homogenizing are sufficient to obtain final application products, no grinding is required, although this does not harm the pigment particles. Further advantages of the chosen pigment engineering are very good staining performance, suited formulations of ARAQUA-10 series are easily washed out from hands and fibers. The pigment engineering ensures too high performance in heat resistance demanding applications like blow molding and injection molding. Low plate out, improved light stability and best Hegman grind cut OFF ensure best performance in olefins, waterborne paints and spray cans. ARAQUA-10 is also optimally applied in textile, screen and gravure inks and in crayon pens, Non destructive testing and marking. Applications in Olefins are possible till 220 ºC and optimal at lower processing temperatures.
Waterborne Formulations Waterborne Formulations
The unique formaldehyde-free ARAQUA-10 fluorescent pigment technology offer the best available performance in waterborne formulations and reveal highest compatibility and long time stability in pH neutral formulations. For high pH formulations we recommend the use of the ARAGEN-10 pigments (see dedicated TDS for special remarks regarding waterborne formulations).
