BASF 324/ 2RL Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and typical application field for BASF 324/2RL Pigment?

A: BASF 324/2RL is a high-performance organic pigment dispersion, specifically formulated for use in water-based industrial coatings and inks. It belongs to the azo pigment family and is valued for its strong red shade, good lightfastness, and compatibility with acrylic and styrene-acrylic binder systems.


Q2: Is BASF 324/2RL suitable for food-contact or pharmaceutical applications?

A: No — BASF 324/2RL is not certified for direct food-contact or pharmaceutical use. It is intended for general industrial applications such as architectural coatings, packaging inks (non-migration-critical layers), and decorative finishes where regulatory compliance for indirect food contact is not required.


Q3: How should BASF 324/2RL be incorporated into aqueous formulations?

A: The pigment is supplied as a stable aqueous dispersion and can be added directly during the let-down stage. It exhibits good rheological compatibility and typically requires minimal additional surfactant or dispersant. Avoid high-shear mixing beyond necessary homogenization to preserve dispersion integrity.


Q4: What are key storage and handling recommendations?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from freezing and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Stir gently before use if sedimentation occurs after extended storage. Do not dilute with hard water or incompatible solvents without prior compatibility testing.
