BASF Paliotol K1090 Organic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and typical hue profile of Paliotol K1090?

A: Paliotol K1090 is a high-performance quinacridone-based organic pigment, delivering strong, clean red-violet shades with excellent chroma and lightfastness. Its molecular structure provides inherent resistance to thermal degradation and photobleaching in demanding applications.


Q2: Is Paliotol K1090 suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: Paliotol K1090 is not specifically certified for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It may be considered for indirect or non-migrating applications where regulatory compliance is verified by the compounder or end-user through full system evaluation and migration testing.


Q3: How does Paliotol K1090 perform in high-temperature polymer processing?

A: This pigment exhibits excellent thermal stability, typically remaining stable up to at least 280 °C for short residence times—making it well-suited for engineering thermoplastics such as polyesters, polyamides, and polycarbonates processed via extrusion or injection molding.


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

A: For best results, high-shear compounding—such as twin-screw extrusion—is strongly recommended. Pre-dispersed masterbatches formulated with compatible carriers (e.g., PET or PC) are widely used to ensure uniform distribution, minimize agglomeration, and maximize tinting strength and gloss retention.
