- Properties and Applications
EDAPLAN 494 is a VOC-free wetting agent and dispersant for inorganic and transparent pigments, e.g. iron oxides and titanium dioxides, as well as for organic pigments in aqueous media. It can be used for the production of coating systems based on polymer emulsions and water-soluble resins (air and oven drying, 2K systems) as well as for the production of aqueous and glycol-containing, binder-free pigment concentrates. EDAPLAN 494 stabilizes pigment dispersions and reduces the mill-base viscosity.
- Recommended Levels and Use
Ladder studies are recommended to determine optimum concentration level. Normal dosage ranges from 10 - 50 % EDAPLAN 494 in delivery form calculated on pigment. For dosage recommendations of specific pigments and for determination of dispersant demand please consult our additional technical information and guide formulations.
