PAT-ADD DA 103 is strongly adsorbed onto inorganic pigments and extenders, thus creating a dense charged layer, which contributes to electrostatic stabilization of the dispersed pigment and extender particles. The tendency of pigment flocculation, during paint production, storage or application is reduced, whereas properties like viscosity stability on storage, color development, opacity, scrub-resistance are being optimized, using PAT-ADD DA 103. PAT-ADD DA 103 typically reduces the viscosity of the mill-base, enabling highest pigment loadings and is economical.
- Benefits
- Reduced pigment grinding time
- Strong prevention of pigment flocculation, floating, flooding, and pigment settling
- Maintenance of efficiency even after storage - stable viscosity
- No phase separation
- No foam formation
- Universal usage for dispersion paints
Applications & Uses

- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Coating Type
- Application
Dispersant, multi-applicable for inorganic pigments, extenders. Polyelectrolyte, Na Salt.
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD DA 103 to be used is system related, but generally is between 0,4 and 2,0% PAT-ADD DA 103, calculated on the total weight of the mill-base, respectively approx 0.3 to 0.7% on total paint formulation. The product is best added to the mill-base before the pigments, extender. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions.
