Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF K2112FG pigment?
A: BASF K2112FG 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, gloss retention, and dispersion stability are required.
Q2: Is BASF K2112FG compatible with common water-based resin systems?
A: Yes, K2112FG is formulated to be compatible with a broad range of water-based binders, including acrylics, vinyl acetate copolymers, and styrene-acrylic dispersions. Compatibility should always be verified under actual formulation conditions due to variations in pH, ionic strength, and co-solvent content.
Q3: How should BASF K2112FG be incorporated into a coating formulation?
A: It is recommended to add K2112FG during the let-down stage, after the base paste has been stabilized. Gentle mixing at low shear is sufficient to ensure uniform distribution; high-shear dispersion is not required. Pre-dilution with a portion of the formulation water or co-solvent may aid incorporation in viscous systems.
Q4: Does BASF K2112FG contain any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or APEOs?
A: K2112FG is formulated as a low-VOC, APEO-free pigment preparation, aligning with current regulatory expectations for sustainable water-based coatings. Its liquid carrier system consists primarily of water and approved non-ionic surfactants and stabilizers.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for BASF K2112FG in finished coatings?
A: Dosage depends on the target shade intensity and formulation requirements, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to the total formulation—to achieve optimal color performance without compromising film properties.
