- Properties
PAT-ADD DA 1801 reduces viscosity of the millbase, thus optimizing pigment wetting and dispersing. Furthermore, the product improves gloss, leveling and prevents pigment floating and flooding The anionic, slightly acidic character of PAT-ADD DA 1801 makes this additive ideal to be used for acid catalyzed systems. Furthermore, PAT-ADD DA 1801 has shown excellent performances, if used in conjunction with polymeric dispersing agents, such as PAT-ADD DA 934.
- Benefits
- Spontaneous, fast pigment wetting properties in high loaded pigment concentrates
- Optimizes the milling process, enabling high pigment loading and best color development
- Strong prevention of pigment flocculation, floating, flooding, and pigment settling
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Ink & Toner Type
- Use Level
- 0.4 and 1.5 %
- Application
Wetting and dispersing agent, for matting agents and pigments, in air-drying paints and industrial systems. Polyester, anionic.
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD DA 1801 to be used is system related, but generally is between 0.4 and 1.5 % PAT-ADD DA 1801, calculated on the total weight of paint formulation. The product is added to the mill-base prior to the dispersion process. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions.
