Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of BASF 247/G Pigment?
A: BASF 247/G is an organic pigment based on the quinacridone class, known for its high chromatic strength, excellent lightfastness, and thermal stability. It is not a dye or a metal complex pigment, and it exhibits inherent resistance to migration in polymeric matrices.
Q2: In which polymer systems is BASF 247/G most commonly used?
A: This pigment is widely employed in engineering thermoplastics such as polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), especially where high-temperature processing and long-term color stability are required. It is also suitable for use in certain high-performance polyolefin compounds under controlled dispersion conditions.
Q3: How should BASF 247/G be dispersed for optimal performance?
A: Effective dispersion typically requires high-shear compounding—such as twin-screw extrusion—at temperatures appropriate for the host polymer. Pre-dispersed masterbatches are recommended for consistent color development and to minimize dust handling. Avoid prolonged residence times at peak melt temperatures to preserve pigment integrity.
Q4: Is BASF 247/G suitable for food-contact applications?
A: While BASF 247/G is manufactured under strict quality control and complies with general purity requirements for pigments used in plastics, its suitability for food-contact applications depends on final regulatory evaluation within the target market and specific formulation parameters—including polymer type, processing conditions, and intended use. Users must conduct their own compliance assessment per applicable local regulations.
Q5: What are typical dosage levels when using BASF 247/G in thermoplastics?
A: Dosage generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight, depending on the desired shade intensity, polymer transparency, and processing method. Lower concentrations are often sufficient due to its high tinctorial strength, particularly in opaque or semi-crystalline systems.
