BASF 363/ G Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of BASF 363/G Pigment?

A: BASF 363/G is an organic pigment based on a high-performance quinacridone derivative, offering excellent lightfastness, weather resistance, and thermal stability suitable for demanding polymer processing conditions.


Q2: Is BASF 363/G suitable for food-contact plastics?

A: While not pre-approved for all food-contact applications, BASF 363/G is designed to meet general requirements for pigments used in food-contact polymers when formulated and processed in accordance with applicable regulatory frameworks; final compliance depends on the complete formulation and end-use conditions.


Q3: Which polymer systems show optimal dispersion and color development with BASF 363/G?

A: BASF 363/G demonstrates excellent compatibility and dispersion in polyolefins (e.g., PP, HDPE), engineering thermoplastics (e.g., PA, PBT), and PVC, particularly when used with standard dispersing aids or masterbatch carriers tailored for high-shear processing.


Q4: How does BASF 363/G perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: This pigment exhibits good thermal stability up to typical melt processing temperatures for polyolefins and engineering plastics, maintaining color strength and hue integrity without significant degradation or blooming during standard extrusion or injection molding cycles.


Q5: What is the recommended dosage range for achieving full opacity and chromatic intensity?

A: Dosage typically ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight depending on the base polymer, desired shade depth, and required opacity; lower concentrations are often sufficient for transparent or translucent effects, while higher loadings support deep, saturated tones in opaque applications.
