1 of 99 products in this brand
Dispersing Agent for Titanium Dioxide (TiO 2 ), Iron Oxide, and Inorganic Pigment Dispersions Borchi® Gen 1252 is a wetting and dispersing agent for titanium dioxide (TiO2), iron oxide , and other inorganic pigment dispersions in coatings. It provides higher inorganic pigment loading, better tint strength, and improved contrast ratios. This dispersing agent additive is an APEO- and VOC-free high molecular weight solution. It works well with varying particle sizes in inorganic pigments and fillers used in water- and solvent-based coating systems. Borchi® Gen 1252 is especially known for being effective in dispersing TiO 2 and iron oxide pigments. This results in stable dispersions with excellent color development. Borchi® Gen 1252 is a high molecular weight wetting and dispersing agent.

Applications & Uses

Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Use Level
2 - 3% (Titanium dioxide), 5% (Iron oxides)
Dosage

Depending on the pigment grade, the recommended dosage is

  • Titanium dioxide: 2 - 3%
  • Iron oxides: 5%

The exact dosage should be experimentally determined through a ladder study. Borchi® Gen 1252 should be added to the mill base before adding the pigment. Neutralization is required when used in water-based systems as follows, Per 1-part Borchi® Gen 1252:

  • AMP 90: 0.041
  • AMP 95: 0.038
  • DMEA: 0.037
  • TEA: 0.041

Storage & Handling

Storage

Protect from the effects of weather and store at temperatures between 5 and 30°C. At temperatures below 15°C turbidity and flocculation may occur. This effect is reversible and does not influence the product efficiency, so warm up to room temperature and mix well before use. Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product.
