- Processing Notes
Pigmenting can be done in the normal way by mixing the pigments and extenders with the usual additives and water in a paste. Addition of a dispersing agent in small amounts in
combination with sodium hexametaphosphate or tripolyphosphate is strongly recommended. The polymer dispersion should be added only after the required degree of grinding has been achieved.
Incorporation of good coalescent solvents like Texanol (Eastman) will yield better results in film wash ability.
Many thickeners are used to adjust the desired viscosity of the paint and to improve its process ability. Very good results are achieved by employing cellulose ethers with retarded swelling and medium to high molecular weight. Also acrylic thickeners can be used.
A lot of commercially available defoamers can be included in order to prevent excessive foaming in the paints. Trials must be carried out to determine the most suitable grades and the correct concentration.
Organic pigments should be tested for their suitability for exterior paints, especially in the case of pasted tones.
