BASF Yellow L 1084 HD Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class and pigment type of BASF Yellow L 1084 HD?

A: BASF Yellow L 1084 HD is a high-performance organic pigment based on the benzimidazolone chemical class, classified as a monoazo pigment with enhanced molecular stability and crystalline structure for improved heat and light resistance.


Q2: Is this pigment suitable for use in food-contact plastics?

A: BASF Yellow L 1084 HD is not approved for direct food-contact applications under major global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for non-food-contact industrial plastics, coatings, and inks where high durability and weathering resistance are required.


Q3: How does its dispersion behavior compare to conventional yellow pigments in polymer systems?

A: Due to its optimized particle size distribution and surface treatment, BASF Yellow L 1084 HD exhibits excellent dispersibility in both polar and non-polar thermoplastics—especially polyolefins and engineering resins—requiring less energy input during compounding and delivering more uniform color development.


Q4: What are typical dosage ranges when used in polypropylene (PP) compounds?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired shade intensity, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight in PP—while maintaining excellent opacity and chroma without compromising mechanical properties.


Q5: Can it be used in water-based ink systems?

A: Yes, BASF Yellow L 1084 HD is available in grades specifically engineered for aqueous ink formulations, offering good rheological compatibility and stable jetting performance in gravure and flexographic printing applications.
