Features Of BASF L6700F Pigment

  1. High thermal stability suitable for demanding processing conditions up to 280 °C.

  2. Excellent lightfastness and weather resistance (Xenon arc rating ≥ 7 per ISO 105-B02).

  3. Good dispersibility in both polar and non-polar polymer matrices including polyolefins and engineering plastics.

  4. Low volatility and minimal plate-out tendency during extrusion and injection molding.

  5. Compliant with global food-contact regulations (EU No. 10/2011, FDA 21 CFR §178.3297) for indirect food packaging applications.

Typical Applications Of BASF L6700F Pigment

  1. Coloration of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) fibers for automotive interior trim.

  2. Pigmentation of HDPE containers used in household and industrial packaging.

  3. Masterbatch formulation for thin-walled injection-molded parts requiring high chroma and consistency.

  4. Color concentrates for blow-molded bottles where migration resistance is critical.

  5. Functional colorants in technical films requiring UV stability and low extractables.

BASF L6700F Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application field for BASF L6700F Pigment?

A: BASF L6700F Pigment is a high-performance organic pigment dispersion specifically developed for demanding industrial coating systems, including automotive OEM and refinish coatings, high-gloss architectural paints, and premium plastic coloration where excellent chroma, lightfastness, and dispersibility are required.


Q2: Is BASF L6700F Pigment suitable for water-based formulations?

A: Yes — L6700F is supplied as a stable aqueous dispersion optimized for compatibility with waterborne acrylic, polyurethane, and hybrid resin systems. It demonstrates good storage stability and minimal surfactant interference in low-VOC formulations.


Q3: How does L6700F compare to conventional pigment preparations in terms of gloss and jetness?

A: Due to its narrow particle size distribution and surface-stabilized morphology, L6700F delivers superior gloss retention and higher blackness (jetness) in both clearcoats and solid-color topcoats compared to standard carbon black or phthalocyanine-based dispersions at equivalent loading levels.


Q4: What is the recommended dosage range for optimal performance?

A: Dosage depends on the target color strength and substrate requirements, but L6700F is typically used at low concentrations — generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in the final formulation — to achieve full opacity and chromatic intensity without compromising rheology or film integrity.


Q5: Can L6700F be used in food-contact compliant coatings?

A: While L6700F is not certified for direct food contact, it may be considered for use in non-migrating, overprinted, or barrier-coated applications where regulatory compliance is verified through full system testing. Always consult local regulatory guidance and perform migration studies when evaluating for indirect food-contact scenarios.
