Coatings:
ADD-4046 is a high molecular weight wetting and dispersing agent that has been developed for high performance solvent-based coatings. In the family of polyurethane-based dispersants, it is the product with the lowest molecular weight and is the most compatible with polar systems.
ADD-4046 enhances processing of pigment bases during grinding and enables higher pigment loads to be achieved.
This results in:
• Improved color strength
• Lower viscosity
• Higher gloss
• Reduced dispersion time
ADD-4046 can be used in general industrial coatings but also in automotive coatings and all kinds of solvent-based coatings as well as pigment concentrates.
ADD-4046 should be incorporated in the mill-base before adding the pigments.
Inorganic pigments: 10% of oil absorption value (solid form)
Organic pigments : 30-50% of BET value (solid form)
Carbon blacks: 15-25% of DBP value (solid form)
