Can this pigment be used in an injection molding or extrusion application? I will be mixing it into "acetal" type plastic and melting it at 450F

that is a good question I don't know if you can mix it with that the only thing I can suggest is take a small portion of it can mix it and proceed to what you're trying to do and see if it works out that way I wish I could be more help and hope its mixes well good luck

It's not plastic, it's silicone, and heat-safe up to 650 degrees (like most silicone products). It'd be SAFE enough, but I suspect you could find a better product for that purpose.

This is food grade grease, so its viscosity (40 @ 40°C) is probably lower than most applications. It probably has lower life span, too. In short, I don't have an answer for you - sorry.

You may get away with it if you're careful. Preforms are supposed to be PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate) (Recyle type 1 plastic) i.e. Preformed water bottles. The plastic melts at 250 degrees C. An Autoclave can get to 134 degrees C plus. So in theory, the preforms should be able to stand the heat. I would try one first on a ceramic or glass plate before committing a large quantity. Good Luck.

It's pure pigment powder. You can add anything you need to. It's very bright so adding a little flour to extend it or lighten is would be fine.

I've used this mixed with CA glue to fill voids on custom turned pens and also mixed in resin to make pen blanks. I would fear the pigments in paint would not allow this to show through. BUT, it may alighlty allow some of the "shimmer" to show through and give a nice affect. If you were in my area I could give you a bottle to try and see if it works before you order.

Hey, this is Ken at Nurturing Planet. A user has answered the question well, but I want to put in our thoughts as the manufacturer. The silicone is pretty much the best that can be used with the current compression mold technology. The reason that we say "up to 450 degrees F" is that we want to give a good safety buffer. The higher the temp goes beyond that, the less time you can hold the pot or dish before the heat starts to get uncomfortable. Considerably higher, and you do risk at least melting the surface of the mitts. So, to give a wide safety margin, we just set it at 450 degrees F. - Ken, Nurturing Planet Awesome Support Hey, this is Ken at Nurturing Planet.

You need to be careful of what kind of plastic. Most plastics are fine, but you should always double check. If you are unsure of what type of plastic it is, try using the acetone on a small portion first to see how the paint/plastic react. Good luck.

Yes, that's what I used. I added food coloring also. I had the best luck using a double boiler with the candy melts. The texture was more consistent & flowed into the molds. Make sure the molds are thoroughly cooled before trying to remove candy from molds. Have fun!!

I don't know about that. I use FanciFull temp color when this starts to fade. No problem.

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

I used it with red dye to rebuild a tail light lens for a classic car and found to harden very well . The left over did not seem flexible.

You can any heat to melt plastics...that said be aware that you are causing toxic fumes to be emitted when you do it. If the sheeting is to thin it will likely wither away when heated up, but if thicker, yu could fuse it. Do it outside and consider a mask t protect from vapors.

This material is a kind of plastic, with a low melting temperature. I would think *not*

You probably don't want to use this for mold making as it is not flexible. I'd suggest a casting silicon from smooth on.

I mixed it with Bee's wax to use in potting guitar pickups. The Bee's wax has definitely got a lower melting point, but in order to get it all melted I believe it was at around 200f and took quite a while for to amount I was using to completely melt. Note, I didn't break it up into really small peices though, which would have sped things up.

The surface is smooth, but not glassy so it may not work for what you have in mind. It holds up to the temp of my embossing heat gun, but I don't think it's designed to withstand the intense temps of an industrial heat gun. Most silicone for household use is rated for 450F degrees. I suggest you look at the wattage on your heat gun and then go to their web site to see if you can get a better answer to your question, sorry.
