Dosage
0.2 – 3.0% on total formulation The exact dosage should be experimentally determined. The best incorporation method is to add it after the pigment/filler dispersion stage but prior to being let down. Under low shear mixing conditions, a pre-dilution in water or a mixture of water/propylene glycol may be necessary for complete incorporation.
