BASF 330/ GL Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF 330/ GL Pigment?

A: BASF 330/ GL Pigment is specifically developed for use in high-performance industrial coatings, including automotive refinish, coil coating, and general metal finishing systems where excellent gloss retention, weather resistance, and chromatic strength are required.


Q2: Is BASF 330/ GL Pigment suitable for water-based coating formulations?

A: Yes, it is designed to be compatible with both solvent-borne and water-borne industrial coating systems. Its surface treatment ensures good dispersibility and stability in aqueous media without significant loss of tinting strength or hue consistency.


Q3: How should BASF 330/ GL Pigment be dispersed in a coating system?

A: Optimal dispersion is achieved using standard high-shear equipment such as dissolvers, bead mills, or three-roll mills. Pre-wetting with compatible solvents or resins is recommended prior to full incorporation to ensure uniform distribution and maximize color development.


Q4: What are the key handling and storage recommendations?

A: Store in original sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to humid environments to prevent agglomeration. Handle using appropriate personal protective equipment as outlined in the Safety Data Sheet.
