Additional Information
- Chemical nature
- Hydroxyfunctional carboxylic acid ester with pigment affinic groups
- Applications
- architectural coatings
industrial coatings
furniture coatings
pigment concentrates
gravure, flexographic, and silk screen printing inks
- Advantages
- deflocculates pigments through steric stabilization of the pigments
provides equal electrical charge to pigments and thus avoids possible co-flocculation of pigments that are not equally charged
improved pigment wetting, gloss, color strength, and levelling
reduces viscosity
- Handling
- Recommended Levels in titanium dioxide : 0.8 - 1.5 %, Recommended Levels in organic pigments : 5 - 8 %, Recommended Levels in carbon blacks : 8 - 10 %
