Q1: What is the primary function of BASF K3690/Pigment in polymer systems?
A: BASF K3690/Pigment is a high-performance organic pigment dispersion designed to provide strong, consistent coloration and excellent lightfastness in thermoplastic polymers—particularly polyolefins and engineering plastics—without compromising melt stability or mechanical properties.
Q2: Is BASF K3690/Pigment suitable for food-contact applications?
A: While BASF K3690/Pigment is formulated with high-purity components and is widely used in applications requiring regulatory compliance, its suitability for food-contact use depends on the final formulation, processing conditions, and applicable regional regulations. Customers must conduct full regulatory assessment and migration testing as part of their own compliance process.
Q3: How should BASF K3690/Pigment be incorporated into polymer melts?
A: It is typically introduced via masterbatch dilution or direct feeding into extrusion processes. Good dispersion is achieved under standard melt-mixing conditions; extended residence time or excessive shear is not required. Pre-drying is generally unnecessary unless ambient humidity is exceptionally high.
Q4: Does BASF K3690/Pigment exhibit good thermal stability during processing?
A: Yes—it is engineered for robust thermal stability in typical polymer processing windows, including extrusion and injection molding of polyolefins and styrenics. Color consistency is maintained up to temperatures commonly encountered in these operations, though prolonged exposure above recommended limits may affect hue intensity.
