Recommended levels/use

Normal dosage ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 % on finished product. Ladder studies are recommended to determine optimum level. AGITAN 305 is typically added undiluted during pigment grinding for optimum distribution and de-aeration. For most efficient use 2/3 of AGITAN 305 is added to the pigment dispersion and 1/3 is added to the letdown. For post addition the product can be pre-emulsified with water. For the manufacturing of emulsions and dispersions it is necessary to add AGITAN 305 to the water phase.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Packaging

AGITAN 305 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 should be mixed before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
