Main applications:

  • Wood coatings
  • Printing inks
  • Adhesives
Recommended levels/use

Normal dosage ranges from 0.3 to 0.5 % on finished product. More can be used as needed. AGITAN 650 is typically added undiluted during pigment grinding for optimum distribution and de-aeration. For most efficient use 2/3 of AGITAN 650 is added to the pigment dispersion and 1/3 is added to the letdown. For manufacturing of emulsions it is necessary to add AGITAN 650 to the water phase

Storage & Handling

Storage and Packaging

AGITAN 650 is not sensitive to freezing, but for better handling it should be stored between 15 and 25 °C. As the product tends to slightly separate it must be mixed before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
