PAT-ADD DA 203 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 102. PAT-ADD DA 203 is very suitable for use in universal colorants, as designed for tinting purposes of waterborne and solvent borne paints. PAT-ADD DA 203 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
- Water and organic solvent free
Applications & Uses

- Application
Wetting agent for in plant pigment concentrates.Non-ionic polymeric surface active agent.
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD DA 203 to be used is system related, but generally is between 0,1 and 0,4% PAT-ADD DA 203, 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 8% PAT-ADD DA 203 on total weight of the colorant. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions
