Q1: What is the primary chemical nature and classification of BASF 3G-K 1040K Pigment?
A: BASF 3G-K 1040K is a high-performance organic pigment dispersion, formulated as a liquid concentrate based on a copper phthalocyanine derivative. It is classified as a solvent-free, aqueous-based pigment preparation designed for compatibility with waterborne systems.
Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact or pharmaceutical packaging inks?
A: BASF 3G-K 1040K is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact applications. Its suitability for such uses depends on full regulatory assessment by the end-formulator, including migration testing and compliance verification against applicable regional requirements for intended substrate and processing conditions.
Q3: How should BASF 3G-K 1040K be incorporated into water-based coatings or inks?
A: It is recommended to add the pigment dispersion under moderate agitation during the let-down stage, after base resin and additives have been dispersed. Avoid high-shear mixing post-addition to prevent destabilization. Compatibility and stability should be verified in the final formulation through standard shelf-life and filtration tests.
Q4: What are typical dosage levels when using this pigment in industrial waterborne coatings?
A: Dosage depends on the required color strength and opacity, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to total formulation solids—to achieve strong blue-green shades with excellent tinctorial strength and lightfastness.
