Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF L2060 3RLTN Pigment?
A: BASF L2060 3RLTN is a high-performance organic pigment dispersion designed primarily for use in water-based industrial coatings, including automotive refinish, general industrial finishes, and functional protective coatings where excellent color strength, gloss retention, and weather resistance are required.
Q2: Is BASF L2060 3RLTN compatible with common water-based resin systems?
A: Yes, it is formulated for compatibility with a broad range of water-based acrylics, polyurethanes, and hybrid resin systems. Good stability and dispersion performance can typically be achieved without additional surfactants, though final compatibility should be verified in the target formulation under application-relevant conditions.
Q3: How should BASF L2060 3RLTN be incorporated into a coating formulation?
A: It is recommended to add the pigment dispersion during the let-down stage, after binder addition and under moderate agitation. Avoid high-shear mixing post-addition to prevent potential destabilization. Pre-dilution with a portion of the formulation’s aqueous phase may aid uniform incorporation.
Q4: Does BASF L2060 3RLTN contain heavy metals or restricted substances?
A: This pigment dispersion is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, or hexavalent chromium. It complies with major global regulatory frameworks for industrial coatings, and full regulatory documentation—including REACH SVHC status and RoHS alignment—is available upon request from BASF technical support.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for achieving optimal color performance?
A: Dosage depends on the desired shade intensity, substrate, and film thickness, but it is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to total formulation solids—to achieve strong, uniform coloration while maintaining rheology and film integrity.
