Special Features and Benefits - By means of steric stabilization, the additive causes the pigments to deflocculate. High gloss can be achieved and color strength is improved thanks to the small particle size of the deflocculated pigments. Furthermore, transparency and hiding power are increased while the viscosity is reduced. This also improves the leveling and allows for a higher level of pigmentation. The additive is also ideally suited for gelling organophilic bentonites.
Recommended Use - Especially recommended for architectural coatings industrial coatings, and protective coating systems.
Recommended Levels - Amount of additive (as supplied) on pigment:
- Inorganic pigments: 1-2%
- Titanium dioxide: 0.5-1%
- Organic pigments: 1-5%
- Bentonites: 30-50%
The dosage levels are indicated for the purpose of orientation. Optimal dosage levels are determined through series of tests.
Incorporation and Processing - Instructions For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of pigments.
