Coatings:
ADD-6225 stabilizes organic and inorganic pigments and extenders in water- and solvent-based systems, especially in decorative coatings. In addition, it makes polar ingredients of universal colorants more compatible with non-polar solvent-based paints into which they may be incorporated. This results in:
• Maximum color development of the colorant based on ADD-6225
• Higher pigment loading in colorants
• Optimum color acceptance of universal colorants in the bases
When used in colorants or water-based systems, ADD-6225 should be neutralized to pH 8.0-8.5 (1.5 pbw of 25% NaOH solution upon 10.0 pbw of the additive) in order to reach the lowest viscosity and best performance. ADD-6225 should be incorporated in the mill-base before adding the pigments.
For universal colorants: 05.0-10.0% on inorganic pigments
10.0-20.0% on organic pigments
Post-addition in bases: 0.5-1.5% on total base weight
Printing Inks:
ADD-6225 is a dispersant for enhancing the dispersion of inorganic pigments and stabilizing the suspension of special effect pigments in water-based and solvent-based media. This results in:
• Improved dispersion or suspension stability
• Improved color strength
• Lower viscosity and/or higher pigment loading
• Higher gloss or lusterADD-6225 has been developed for water-based and solvent-based formulations.
ADD-6225 is effective with metallic flakes and special effect pigments.
ADD-6225 is particularly suitable for nitrocellulose-based flexographic applications and for screen printing.
For best results, ADD-6225 should be combined with the pre-blended liquid portion of the mill-base formulation before addition of the pigment.
1.0-5.0% (delivery form) on TiO2 and metallic pigments or special effect flakes
5.0-10.0% (delivery form) on Bentonites and thickeners

Storage & Handling
- STORAGE, SAFETY & HANDLING
ADD-6225 should be stored in a cool dry place. When kept in an original unopened container, it will keep up to 5 years from the date of manufacture. ADD-6225 should be handled in accordance with good industrial practice. Detailed information can be found in the Safety Data Sheet
