BASF L0090/ Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF L0090/ Pigment?

A: BASF L0090/ 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, lightfastness, and dispersion stability are required.


Q2: Is BASF L0090/ 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 be verified in the final formulation due to variations in pH, ionic strength, and surfactant content.


Q3: How should BASF L0090/ 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 at low shear is recommended to preserve dispersion integrity and avoid reagglomeration. Pre-dilution with water or compatible co-solvents may facilitate uniform incorporation.


Q4: What are the key handling and storage recommendations?

A: Store in tightly sealed original containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, protected from freezing and direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures or contamination with incompatible materials. Stir gently before use if sedimentation occurs after extended storage.
