Features & Benefits
- Benefits
- SUPERSPERSE® 95 helps establish a stable pH which reduces flash rusting and improves thickener performance without negatively affecting the early water sensitivity of the system.
- Stable pH properties will reduce the occurrence of pigment flocculation for products that require extended shelf-life.
- It generates better scrub and water resistance due to the lower content of conventional non-volatile dispersants.
- SUPERSPERSE® 95 has very low odor and is not detected when properly applied.
- It eliminates the need for additional buffers such as ammonia, TEA or Aminomethyl Propanol in a coating system.
- It is UV stable and, under most conditions, will not cause discoloration.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- In latex systems, SUPERSPERSE® 95 is used in conjunction with other common dispersants.
- In the grind, reduce the level of current dispersant by 30 to 40% and replace with SUPERSPERSE® 95 at 0.75 to 1.00 lbs per 100 gallons.
- Better pigment dispersion and shorter dwell times will be realized, which can reduce the amount of prime pigments needed to achieve desired opacity and/or tint strength. In most cases, a 10% reduction of glycols will be possible.
- Recommended Usage Levels
- Recommended Usage Levels: Adjust the final pH with SUPERSPERSE® 95 at 0.5 to 1.0 lbs per 100 gallons.
