PAT-ADD DA 202 is a multi-applicable wetting agent for use in waterborne systems. The product is typically used in dispersion paints in conjunction with polycarboxylic dispersion agents, such as PAT-ADD DA 101 or 103. PAT-ADD DA 202 is very suitable for use in universal colorants, as designed for tinting purposes of waterborne and solvent borne paints. PAT-ADD DA 202 optimizes color development, paint stability, when added prior to milling.
- Benefits
- Optimizes color development
- Strong prevention of pigment flocculation, floating, flooding, and pigment settling
- Maintenance of efficiency even after storage - stable viscosity
- Limits risk of phase separation
- Universal usage for dispersion paints and aqueous colorants
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Application
Non-ionic polymeric surface active agent for inks.
- Application
Pigment wetting agent, as for dispersion paints. Non-ionic polymeric surface active agent.
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD DA 202 to be used is system related, but generally is between 0,1 and 0,5% PAT-ADD DA 202, calculated on the total weight of paint formulation. The product is best added to the mill-base before the pigments, extender. For use as wetting agent in universal colorants higher dosages are required, generally 2 to 10% PAT-ADD DA 202 on total weight of the colorant. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions.
