BASF R-K 0022K Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of BASF R-K 0022K Pigment?

A: BASF R-K 0022K is an organic pigment dispersion based on a high-performance perylene derivative, formulated as a stable aqueous suspension with tailored surfactant and polymeric stabilization for enhanced compatibility in water-based systems.


Q2: Is R-K 0022K suitable for use in food-contact coatings or inks?

A: R-K 0022K is not certified for direct food-contact applications. It is intended for industrial and decorative coatings, including architectural paints and general-purpose inks where regulatory compliance for food contact is not required.


Q3: How should R-K 0022K be incorporated into water-based formulations?

A: It is recommended to add R-K 0022K during the let-down stage under moderate agitation. Pre-dilution with deionized water may improve dispersion uniformity. Avoid high-shear mixing after addition to prevent destabilization of the pigment particles.


Q4: What are the key stability considerations for R-K 0022K in storage and use?

A: Store at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, protected from freezing and prolonged exposure to UV light. The dispersion remains stable for up to 12 months when stored unopened under recommended conditions. Once opened, use within 3 months and ensure container integrity to prevent contamination or evaporation.


Q5: Can R-K 0022K be used alongside other BASF pigment dispersions in the same formulation?

A: Yes — R-K 0022K is designed to be compatible with many other BASF aqueous pigment dispersions, particularly those in the R-K series. However, compatibility testing is advised when combining with non-BASF or solvent-based systems due to potential interactions with stabilizers or pH sensitivity.
