BASF Paliotol K2142 Organic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and typical hue profile of Paliotol K2142?

A: Paliotol K2142 is a high-performance quinacridone-based organic pigment, offering strong violet-red to bluish-red shades with excellent chroma, transparency, and clean undertones—commonly selected for premium decorative and industrial coatings requiring color fidelity.


Q2: Is Paliotol K2142 suitable for use in automotive OEM or refinish coatings?

A: Yes—Paliotol K2142 is engineered for demanding applications including automotive OEM basecoats and high-solids refinish systems, where it delivers outstanding lightfastness, thermal stability during curing, and resistance to common solvents and acid catalysts used in crosslinking processes.


Q3: How does Paliotol K2142 perform in weathering and UV exposure compared to conventional red pigments?

A: As a quinacridone derivative, Paliotol K2142 exhibits significantly enhanced UV stability and long-term outdoor durability versus many azo or anthraquinone reds—demonstrating superior resistance to fading, chalking, and gloss loss in accelerated weathering tests and real-world exposure.


Q4: What dispersion characteristics should formulators expect when incorporating Paliotol K2142 into solventborne and waterborne systems?

A: Paliotol K2142 is supplied in a readily dispersible form optimized for both solventborne and waterborne architectures. It achieves fine particle size distribution and stable rheology with standard polymeric dispersants or surfactant systems—typically requiring moderate shear energy and showing good compatibility with acrylic, polyester, and alkyd resins.


Q5: Can Paliotol K2142 be used in food-contact coatings or other regulated applications?

A: Paliotol K2142 is not approved for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for industrial, architectural, and automotive coatings where regulatory compliance focuses on non-food-related performance and safety requirements.
