BASF K4170/ 2BP Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF K4170/ 2BP Pigment?

A: BASF K4170/ 2BP Pigment is a high-performance organic pigment dispersion specifically developed for use in industrial coatings, including coil coatings, automotive refinishes, and general metal finishing systems where excellent color strength, gloss retention, and weather resistance are required.


Q2: Is BASF K4170/ 2BP Pigment suitable for water-based coating systems?

A: Yes, K4170/ 2BP is formulated as a stable aqueous pigment dispersion and is compatible with a broad range of waterborne acrylic, polyurethane, and hybrid resin systems. Its rheology and stabilization system are optimized to minimize flocculation and ensure consistent tinting performance in low-VOC formulations.


Q3: How should K4170/ 2BP be incorporated into a coating formulation?

A: It is recommended to add K4170/ 2BP during the let-down stage under moderate agitation. Pre-dilution with a portion of the formulation’s water or co-solvent may aid uniform distribution. Avoid high-shear mixing after addition to prevent destabilization of the pigment dispersion.


Q4: What are the key handling and storage recommendations?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, protected from freezing and direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures or repeated freeze-thaw cycles may affect dispersion stability. Always agitate gently before use if sedimentation occurs.
