BASF 4G-K 7080K Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application area for BASF 4G-K 7080K Pigment?

A: BASF 4G-K 7080K is a high-performance organic pigment specifically developed for demanding industrial coating and plastic applications, including automotive topcoats, high-gloss decorative finishes, and engineering thermoplastics where excellent chroma, lightfastness, and thermal stability are required.


Q2: Is BASF 4G-K 7080K suitable for food-contact plastics?

A: This pigment is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact applications. Its suitability depends on final formulation compliance with applicable regional regulations—users must conduct full regulatory assessment and migration testing in the intended end-use system.


Q3: How does BASF 4G-K 7080K perform under UV exposure and elevated temperatures?

A: The pigment demonstrates very good lightfastness and weather resistance in standard acrylic and polyester-based coatings, and retains color integrity during typical polymer processing conditions such as injection molding and extrusion at moderate residence times.


Q4: What dispersion methods are recommended for optimal performance in solvent-borne systems?

A: High-shear dispersing equipment (e.g., bead mills or high-speed dissolvers) is recommended. Pre-wetting with compatible solvents or resins prior to dispersion helps achieve fine particle distribution and maximizes color strength and gloss.
