Q1: What is the primary chemical class and pigment type of BASF 4G-K 1061K?
A: BASF 4G-K 1061K is an organic pigment based on the diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) chemical family, offering high chromatic strength, excellent lightfastness, and good thermal stability for demanding polymer applications.
Q2: In which polymer systems is this pigment typically processed and stabilized?
A: It is widely used in polyolefins (e.g., PP and PE), engineering thermoplastics such as PA and PBT, and selected styrenic systems. Its molecular design supports good dispersibility and heat stability during melt processing at typical extrusion and injection molding temperatures.
Q3: Is BASF 4G-K 1061K suitable for food-contact or regulatory-sensitive applications?
A: This grade is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact use under major global regulatory frameworks. Customers intending to use it in regulated applications must conduct full formulation-specific compliance assessments, including migration testing and regulatory dossier review, in accordance with applicable local requirements.
Q4: What is the recommended dosage range for achieving optimal coloration and performance balance?
A: Typical usage levels generally range from 0.1% to 2% by weight, depending on the base polymer, desired shade intensity, processing conditions, and required durability properties. Lower dosages are often sufficient due to its high tinctorial strength and efficient dispersion behavior.
