- Properties and Applications
EDAPLAN 516 is an anionic dispersing agent with low foam tendencies suitable for many aqueous systems. It is recommended for most common pigments and fillers. EDAPLAN 516 is compatible with many emulsion polymers. It can be used over a wide pH range and prevents the formation of settlements and stabilizes the system. EDAPLAN 516 is particularly suitable for dispersion of titanium dioxide, sheet silicates and fillers to achieve a constantly low paste viscosity.
- Recommended Levels and Use
Ladder studies are recommended to determine optimum dosage levels. Normal dosage ranges from 0.1 - 1.0 % EDAPLAN 516 on pigment and filler. EDAPLAN 516 can be used as sole dispersant. Even by application of tap water a combination with other wetting and dispersing agents is not necessary. Addition of more than 1% on total formulation may influence the water sensitivity of the paint film. It is recommended to dose EDAPLAN 516 before addition of pigments and extenders.
