BASF 190/ 2RLN Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical nature and classification of BASF 190/ 2RLN Pigment?

A: BASF 190/ 2RLN is an organic pigment based on the perylene derivative family, offering high chromatic strength, excellent lightfastness, and thermal stability. It is classified as a high-performance pigment suitable for demanding industrial applications where color consistency and durability are critical.


Q2: Is BASF 190/ 2RLN Pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics or packaging materials?

A: This pigment is not certified for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for non-food-contact industrial coatings, engineering plastics, and decorative applications where regulatory compliance for migration is not required. Customers requiring food-safe alternatives should consult BASF’s portfolio of approved food-contact pigments.


Q3: How does BASF 190/ 2RLN perform in high-temperature processing environments, such as injection molding or extrusion?

A: The pigment demonstrates good thermal stability and retains its coloristic properties during typical polymer processing up to approximately 300 °C, making it suitable for polyolefins, engineering thermoplastics, and certain high-heat coating systems. Performance may vary depending on residence time, shear conditions, and base resin compatibility.


Q4: What dispersion methods are recommended to achieve optimal color development and stability with this pigment?

A: For best results, high-shear dispersion using appropriate dispersing aids—such as polymeric or low-molecular-weight surfactants—is recommended. Pre-dispersed concentrates (e.g., masterbatches) are widely used in plastics, while wet-grinding processes are common for liquid coatings and inks. Optimization should be conducted within the specific formulation matrix.
