Applications & Uses

Coatings Industry

Special Features and Benefits The additive acts in aqueous systems by controlled flocculating the pigments. This primarily prevents the flooding/floating and sedimentation of the pigments as well as sagging. Thixotropy is enhanced. The controlled flocculating properties may lead to a slight gloss reduction.

Recommended Levels:- 

 Additive dosage as supplied on pigment:

  • Inorganic pigments: 5-10%
  • Titanium dioxides: 1.5-3%
  • Fillers: 1-1.5%

The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.

Incorporation and Processing Instructions- For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of pigments.

Adhesives And Sealants

Special Features and Benefits -The additive acts in aqueous systems by controlled flocculating the fillers and particles. It reduces the viscosity in filled systems and, at the same time, prevents sedimentation and flooding/floating. Thixotropy is enhanced.

Recommended Use - The additive is recommended for all aqueous adhesives and sealants.
