Q1: What is the primary chemical composition and pigment class of BASF K9360?
A: BASF K9360 is a high-performance copper phthalocyanine-based pigment, belonging to the phthalocyanine blue pigment family. It features a robust, thermally stable macrocyclic structure with excellent lightfastness and weather resistance.
Q2: In which types of polymer systems is BASF K9360 commonly used?
A: This pigment is widely employed in engineering thermoplastics such as polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), particularly where high-temperature processing stability and color consistency are required.
Q3: How does BASF K9360 perform under high-shear and high-temperature compounding conditions?
A: BASF K9360 exhibits excellent thermal and mechanical stability during extrusion and injection molding processes, maintaining its crystalline integrity and color strength without significant degradation or hue shift under typical industrial processing conditions.
Q4: Is BASF K9360 suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance in food-contact or automotive interiors?
A: While not inherently certified for all regulated end uses, BASF K9360 is formulated to meet stringent purity requirements and is frequently selected for demanding applications including automotive interior plastics and food-contact polymers—subject to final formulation validation and applicable regional regulatory assessments.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range when incorporating BASF K9360 into polymer masterbatches?
A: Dosage depends on the target color strength and polymer matrix, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in final compounds—to achieve optimal dispersion, opacity, and chromatic performance.
