BASF 825/ GL/ 807 Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of BASF 825/ GL/ 807 Pigment?

A: BASF 825/ GL/ 807 is an organic pigment dispersion formulated for high-performance applications, based on a chemically stabilized azo or condensed azo-type chromophore system. It is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid dispersion in a non-aqueous vehicle optimized for compatibility with common polymer and coating resins.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for food-contact plastics or packaging applications?

A: BASF 825/ GL/ 807 is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact applications. Its use in such systems requires full regulatory assessment by the formulator, including evaluation of migration behavior, thermal stability during processing, and compliance with applicable regional food-contact legislation. It is commonly selected for non-food industrial coatings and technical plastics where high chroma and weather resistance are prioritized.


Q3: What types of polymers or resin systems show good compatibility with this pigment?

A: This pigment demonstrates excellent compatibility with thermoplastic polymers such as polyolefins (PP, PE), polystyrene, ABS, and engineering plastics like PA6 and PC—particularly when processed via injection molding or extrusion. It is also widely used in solvent-borne and high-solids industrial coatings based on acrylics, alkyds, and polyurethanes.


Q4: How should BASF 825/ GL/ 807 be incorporated into a formulation?

A: It is designed for direct addition to molten polymer or liquid resin systems without pre-drying or pre-mixing steps. For optimal dispersion, incorporate during the early melt phase under moderate shear. Dosage typically ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight, depending on the required color strength and substrate opacity requirements.


Q5: Does this pigment offer good resistance to heat, light, and weathering?

A: Yes — BASF 825/ GL/ 807 is engineered for enhanced thermal stability (suitable for processing up to typical polyolefin extrusion temperatures) and delivers good to very good lightfastness and weather resistance in outdoor applications, especially when protected within a UV-stabilized matrix.
