- Properties and Applications
EDAPLAN 916 is a solvent-free dispersing and wetting agent with an active content of 100 %. It is designed to disperse inorganic pigments for universal use in both, water and solvent based systems, including High Solids. It is ideal for the manufacturing of coatings as well as for the manufacturing of resin free pigment concentrates. EDAPLAN 916 stabilizes dispersed pigments and reduces mill-base viscosity. Gloss and color development are improved and reflocculation respectively Rub Out is prevented. When EDAPLAN 916 is used, there is no need to adjust the pH value of the grind/pigment concentrate. The product is free of organic solvents
- Recommended Levels and Use
EDAPLAN 916 is added to the grind prior to the pigments. Ladder studies are recommended to determine the optimum dosage level. Normal dosage range from 3 - 15% in delivery form, calculated on pigment solid.

- Storage and Handling
EDAPLAN 916 is not sensitive to freezing, but for better handling it should be stored between 15°C and 25°C. Transport and storage below 20°C may lead to flocculation of the product. This will not affect the dispersing properties. EDAPLAN 916 can be homogenized by stirring at temperature above 40°C. The product should be stirred well before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 12 months from the date of manufacture.
