BASF Paliotol Yellow L 2140 HD Organic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the key performance advantages of Paliotol Yellow L 2140 HD compared to standard yellow organic pigments?

A: Paliotol Yellow L 2140 HD offers enhanced heat stability and improved dispersibility in demanding polymer systems, particularly polyolefins and engineering thermoplastics. Its high-density (HD) morphology supports superior packing efficiency and reduced dust generation during handling, contributing to more consistent dosing and cleaner processing.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for food-contact plastic applications?

A: Paliotol Yellow L 2140 HD is designed for use in plastics intended for indirect food contact, subject to compliance with applicable regional regulations. It is not pre-approved for direct food-contact applications without full formulation-level assessment by the end-user, including migration testing and regulatory review.


Q3: How should this pigment be dispersed in polypropylene or polyethylene compounds?

A: For optimal results, Paliotol Yellow L 2140 HD is typically incorporated via masterbatch preparation using twin-screw extrusion. Pre-wetting with carrier resin and controlled melt temperature profiles help achieve uniform dispersion. Its HD structure supports efficient incorporation at typical dosage levels ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight, depending on required color strength and opacity.
