BASF K7096 GBP Organic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF K7096 GBP?

A: BASF K7096 GBP is a high-performance organic pigment specifically developed for demanding plastic coloration applications, particularly in polyolefins (e.g., PP and PE) where excellent heat stability, dispersion behavior, and lightfastness are required.


Q2: Is K7096 GBP suitable for food-contact plastics?

A: K7096 GBP is designed to meet stringent regulatory expectations for plastic colorants. While it is not inherently certified for all food-contact applications, it may be used in compliant formulations where the final article meets applicable regional requirements—formulators must validate compliance through full system testing and regulatory review.


Q3: How does K7096 GBP perform under high-temperature processing conditions?

A: K7096 GBP exhibits very good thermal stability, enabling reliable performance during standard polyolefin processing such as injection molding and extrusion without significant hue shift or degradation, provided recommended temperature limits are observed.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range when using K7096 GBP in polypropylene?

A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity and specific formulation requirements, but K7096 GBP is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—in polypropylene systems due to its high tinctorial strength and efficient dispersion.
