- Properties and Applications
METOLAT 390 is a dispersing and wetting agent for organic pigments in aqueous media free of organic solvents. It is ideal for the manufacturing of aqueous coatings systems based on polymer solutions and / or polymer emulsions (air dry and force dry, 2K-systems) as well as for the manufacturing of aqueous resin-free pigment concentrates. METOLAT 390 stabilizes dispersed organic pigments and reduces the mill-base viscosity. Gloss and color development are improved and reflocculation is prevented.
- Recommended Levels and Use
METOLAT 390 is miscible with water at any ratio. For optimum pigment dispersion it is recommended to neutralize the product completely or adjust pH app. to 8 – 9, respectively. Ladder studies are recommended to determine optimum concentration level. For dosage recommendations of specific pigments and for determination of dispersant demand please consult our additional technical information.
