Main applications:

  • Emuslion plasters
  • Printing inks
  • Adhesives
  • Emulsion manufacture
  • Paper coatings
  • Paper manufacture
  • Waste water treatment
Recommended levels/use

Normal dosage ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 % on the finished product. AGITAN 301 is typically added undiluted during the pigment grinding for optimum distribution and de-aeration. For most efficient use 2/3 of AGITAN 301 is added to the pigment dispersion and 1/3 is added to the letdown. For post addition AGITAN 301 should be prediluted with water. The recommended dosage for waste water treatment is 100- 200 ppm.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Packaging

AGITAN 301 is not sensitive to freezing but for better handling it should be stored at 15 and 25 °C. As the product tends to separate during storage it must be mixed before use. When stored in a cold place AGITAN 301 may thicken. Before use it should be heated to 40 °C while mixing. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
