BASF K4165/ Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF K4165/Pigment?

A: BASF K4165/Pigment 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 K4165/Pigment compatible with common water-based resin systems?

A: Yes, it demonstrates good compatibility with a broad range of water-based binders, including acrylics, vinyl acetate copolymers, and styrene-acrylic dispersions. Compatibility should always be verified in the final formulation due to variations in pH, ionic strength, and coalescent selection.


Q3: How should BASF K4165/Pigment be incorporated into a coating formulation?

A: It is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid dispersion and is typically added during the let-down or post-addition stage. Gentle mixing is recommended to avoid foam generation and ensure uniform distribution without compromising particle integrity.


Q4: What are the key handling and storage recommendations?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from direct sunlight and freezing conditions. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures or repeated freeze-thaw cycles may affect rheological behavior and dispersion stability.


Q5: Does BASF K4165/Pigment contain regulated substances such as heavy metals or aromatic amines?

A: BASF K4165/Pigment is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, mercury, or hexavalent chromium) and complies with globally recognized regulatory expectations for azo-free status. Full compliance documentation is available upon request through BASF’s regulatory support services.
