BASF D5800 GT Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF D5800 GT Pigment?

A: BASF D5800 GT Pigment is specifically engineered for use in high-performance industrial coatings, including automotive refinish, coil coatings, and general metal finishing systems where excellent color strength, dispersion stability, and weather resistance are required.


Q2: Is D5800 GT suitable for water-based coating formulations?

A: Yes — D5800 GT is designed with surface treatment technology that supports compatibility in both solvent-borne and water-based systems. Its dispersibility in aqueous media is enhanced by optimized particle surface chemistry, though optimal performance may require formulation-specific dispersant selection and milling conditions.


Q3: How does D5800 GT compare to conventional organic pigments in terms of heat stability?

A: D5800 GT exhibits significantly improved thermal stability compared to many standard organic pigments, enabling its use in applications involving baking cycles up to 180 °C without noticeable hue shift or degradation — making it well-suited for OEM and coil coating processes.


Q4: What is the recommended dosage range for achieving optimal color development?

A: Dosage depends on the specific formulation requirements and desired opacity or chroma level, but D5800 GT is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in the final coating system — due to its high tinting strength and efficient light absorption characteristics.
