- Application
(1) Pigment dispersion: Recommended for dispersion of difficult to disperse pigments, ie phthalo blue/ green, carbon black, etc. Also for all inorganic pigments, conductive pigments, and mineral fillers. Particularly useful for the dispersion of these pigments in solvent-borne coatings and polyolefins.
(2) Thermoplastics: Use of D-535.1 to treat mineral fillers, ie calcium carbonate, mica, silica, clay, etc. will result in improved physical properties of the compounded polyolefin.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Procedure
- HIGH SHEAR MIXING NECESSARY IN ALL SOLVENT-BORNE SYSTEMS
(1) Coatings/ Inks: Optimum performance is achieved when added directly to the grind stage resin and high shear mixed for 15 mins before adding other components. Must be high shear mixed with a Cowles type mixer. Milling alone is not sufficient.
(2) Adhesives: 1.0-2.0 phr, post add recommended under agitation.
(3) Plastics: 1.0-2.0 phf (parts per hundred filler); recommend pretreat of pigments/ fillers in a Henschel or similar mixer and subsequently compound with resin. For high surface area pigments/ fillers, i.e. fumed silica, carbon black, phthalo, and similar use 3.0-5.0 phf.
(4) Rubber: 1.0-3.0 phr, add directly onto silica or other filler and compound in a Banbury mixer.

Adhesion of Polyester Baking Enamel on CRS
Conclusions:a
1. Without adhesion promoter (control>50% of coating removed
2. Addition of D-525.31 to the grind stage sharply reduces coating removal as follows:
Control – 50%
2phr – <1%
3phr – 0%Current recommendations: C-515.71HR, C-515.71HRX
3. Excellent humidity and salt-fog resistance
