High Performance Pigments

Heliogen, Irgazin, Paliogen, Paliotol and Sicopal
Aerospace coatings must perform in the harshest environments: Wide variations of heat and cold, exposure to fuels, chemicals and abrasion as well as rain, hail, and ultraviolet (UV) exposure put the paints to the test every day. BASF’s high performance pigments (HPPs) are used to excel in these challenging conditions.​

Particular suitability for aerospace coatings
​There are many key parameters for coating an aircraft, none more important than dry film thickness and overall coating weight. Excessive paint on a plane leads to extra weight and higher fuel costs. In order to overcome this concern, pigments are chosen that are high in hiding power (or opacity) while maintaining superior durability. BASF’s HPP products for aerospace provide the utmost in performance and value while covering the key color areas.
Features
  • Increased surface reflectance
  • Reduced heat build-up of parts
  • Lower energy usage through lower cooling requirements
  • Longer lifetimes for substrates through reduced temperature strain
