BASF Sicotan K2001FG Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition and crystal structure of Sicotan K2001FG?

A: Sicotan K2001FG is a high-purity, rutile-phase titanium dioxide pigment surface-treated with alumina and silica to enhance dispersibility and optical performance in demanding applications.


Q2: Is Sicotan K2001FG suitable for use in food-contact plastics or packaging materials?

A: Sicotan K2001FG is designed for industrial and functional applications where regulatory compliance for direct food contact is not required. For food-contact uses, consult BASF’s dedicated food-grade pigment portfolio and verify suitability against applicable regional regulations.


Q3: How does Sicotan K2001FG perform under UV exposure and elevated temperatures?

A: Thanks to its optimized inorganic surface treatment and crystalline stability, Sicotan K2001FG demonstrates excellent resistance to UV-induced degradation and thermal stress, making it well-suited for outdoor applications and high-temperature processing such as extrusion and injection molding.


Q4: What dispersion methods are recommended for optimal incorporation into polymer systems?

A: For best results, pre-disperse Sicotan K2001FG using high-shear mixing or twin-screw compounding. Its surface chemistry supports good compatibility with common thermoplastics and masterbatch carriers; dosage typically ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight depending on opacity and color strength requirements.


Q5: Can Sicotan K2001FG be used in aqueous coating systems?

A: While primarily developed for non-aqueous and polymer-based systems, Sicotan K2001FG can be incorporated into aqueous formulations with appropriate dispersants and pH stabilization—however, performance may vary significantly compared to pigments specifically engineered for waterborne media.
