- Properties and Applications
METOLAT 392 is a solvent-free dispersing and wetting agent for carbon blacks in aqueous media. 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 392 stabilizes dispersed carbon blacks and reduces the mill-base viscosity. Gloss and color development are improved and reflocculation is prevented.
- Recommended Levels and Use
Ladder studies are recommended to determine optimum concentration level. For dosage recommendations for specific pigments and for determination of dispersant demand please consult our additional technical information.
