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.
Recommended Use -
Particularly recommended for architectural coatings and protective coating systems if the amount of organic solvents introduced into the formulations is to be as low as possible.
Recommended Levels - Amount of additive (as supplied) on pigment:
- Inorganic pigments: 0.5-1%
- Titanium dioxide: 0.2-0.5%
- Organic pigments: 1-5%
The levels recommended above are purely for orientation purposes. 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.
