BASF Sicotan K2111FG Inorganic Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition and pigment type of Sicotan K2111FG?

A: Sicotan K2111FG is a high-performance inorganic pigment based on a modified titanium dioxide–silica composite system, engineered to deliver exceptional whiteness, brightness, and UV stability without relying on organic chromophores.


Q2: Is Sicotan K2111FG suitable for use in food-contact plastics or coatings?

A: Yes — it is designed for applications requiring regulatory compliance in food-contact materials, including plastics and protective coatings. Its inorganic nature ensures excellent migration resistance and thermal stability during processing, though final compliance must be verified per regional regulations and specific end-use conditions.


Q3: How does Sicotan K2111FG compare to conventional titanium dioxide pigments in terms of dispersion and processing behavior?

A: Sicotan K2111FG features a surface-treated morphology that enhances wetting and dispersion in both polar and non-polar polymer matrices. It typically requires less energy input during compounding and shows improved compatibility with common dispersants compared to unmodified TiO₂ grades.


Q4: What are the recommended storage and handling conditions to maintain optimal performance?

A: Store in a cool, dry environment in original sealed packaging to prevent moisture uptake and contamination. Avoid exposure to high humidity or direct sunlight. Standard industrial handling practices for fine inorganic powders apply — use appropriate dust control measures during transfer and dosing.
