Applications

Coating Industry, Printing Inks and Adhesives

Special Features and Benefits


The additive deflocculates pigments by means of steric stabilization. As a result of the small particle sizes of the
deflocculated pigments, high levels of gloss can be achieved and the color strength is improved. Transparency and
hiding powder also increase and viscosity is reduced. In this way, the flow characteristics are also improved and
higher pigment loading is possible.

Recommended Use
The additive is recommended for all aqueous, solvent-borne and solvent-free systems to stabilize inorganic
pigments, specifically titanium dioxide.

Recommended Levels
Amount of additve (as supplied) based upon pigment.

Inorganic pigments: 5-10 %


Titanium dioxides: 1.5-2.5 %

The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through
a series of laboratory tests.

Incorporation and Processing Instructions


For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of
pigments. The resin and solvent components of the millbase are pre-mixed and then the additive is
slowly incorporated while stirring continuously. Do not add the pigments until the additive has been
fully distributed.
