Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF K2111FG pigment?
A: BASF K2111FG is a high-performance organic pigment dispersion designed primarily for use in water-based industrial coatings, including architectural paints, wood finishes, and general-purpose protective coatings where excellent color strength, lightfastness, and colloidal stability are required.
Q2: Is BASF K2111FG compatible with both anionic and non-ionic surfactant systems?
A: Yes, K2111FG is formulated to exhibit broad compatibility with common anionic and non-ionic stabilizers used in aqueous pigment dispersions, supporting robust formulation flexibility across different binder systems and pH ranges.
Q3: How should BASF K2111FG be incorporated into a coating formulation?
A: It is recommended to add K2111FG during the let-down or post-addition stage, after the main binder and rheology modifiers have been dispersed. Gentle mixing is sufficient—high-shear processing is not required, helping preserve dispersion integrity and minimize foam generation.
Q4: Does BASF K2111FG contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or APEOs?
A: No, K2111FG is supplied as a VOC-free, APEO-free aqueous dispersion, aligning with current regulatory expectations for sustainable, low-impact colorants in environmentally conscious coating formulations.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for BASF K2111FG in finished coatings?
A: Dosage depends on the target color strength and opacity requirements, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the final formulation—to achieve strong, uniform coloration without compromising film properties.
