BASF Paliotol K0961HD Organic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and typical hue profile of Paliotol K0961HD?

A: Paliotol K0961HD is a high-performance quinacridone-based organic pigment, delivering a clean, bluish-red shade with excellent chroma and strong tinting strength. Its molecular structure provides inherent stability toward light and heat.


Q2: Is Paliotol K0961HD suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Yes — Paliotol K0961HD is specifically designed and approved for applications requiring compliance with global food-contact regulations for plastics, including FDA 21 CFR and relevant EU frameworks, provided it is used within authorized concentration limits and processing conditions.


Q3: How does this pigment perform under high-temperature processing, such as injection molding or extrusion?

A: Paliotol K0961HD exhibits excellent thermal stability, maintaining color integrity during standard polymer processing up to approximately 280–300 °C, depending on residence time and matrix composition. It is widely used in polyolefins, engineering thermoplastics, and PVC without significant degradation.


Q4: What are the recommended dispersion methods for optimal color development?

A: For best results, pre-dispersion using high-shear equipment (e.g., twin-screw extruders or high-speed dispersers) is recommended. The pigment responds well to standard polyolefin and PVC masterbatch carriers, and its surface treatment ensures good wetting and distribution in non-polar matrices.


Q5: Can Paliotol K0961HD be combined with other organic pigments or effect pigments in multi-color systems?

A: Yes — it demonstrates good compatibility with common organic pigments (e.g., phthalocyanines, perylenes) and metallic or pearlescent effect pigments in compound formulations, enabling consistent batch-to-batch color reproduction when proper dispersion and stabilization protocols are followed.
