- Viscosity Control
Formulations based on SPL-J Series Dispersions are designed to be thinned with water only. Formulations may tolerate small quantities of alcohols but levels should be kept below 5%. Testing should be conducted when solvents are used to determine their affects on the final application formulas.
Viscosity can be increased with the use of Joncryl 142 or a similar product. The addition of 5% of Joncryl 142 will increase viscosity approximately 20 seconds/#2 Zahn cup. Testing should be conduct with each thickener to determine their affects on the final application formulas.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Lightfastness
SPL-J Series Dispersions exhibit good lightfastness for indoor applications. However, their exterior lightfastness is limited. The users should conduct their own tests to determine if the use of SPL-J Series Dispersions will meet their lightfastness requirements.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
Storage & Handling
- Handling
- SPL-J Series Dispersions are liquid products, which offer easy incorporation into aqueous systems with minimal mixing. These products are not compatible with nonaqueous formulations.
- The SPL-J Series Dispersions should be mixed before use to ensure homogeneity. The pH of the SPL-J Series should be adjusted to a minimum of 8.0 before use with other ingredients to avoid shocking the ink or coating system.
- These products are for industrial use only. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not swallow. Use appropriate respirator if the product forms mists.
