- Properties
Polymeric dispersant Pat-Add DA603 shows strong dispersion activity with hydrophilic and medium hydrophobic pigments and extenders, thus reducing mill base viscosity, improving color development as well as storage stability and gloss Although Pat-Add DA603 is designed for use in a pigment concentrates, colorants and architectural as well as industrial waterborne paints, it may also be considered for applications in similar aqueous paints, inks and pigment concentrate dispersions.
- Benefits
- Strong dispersing properties for pigments such as iron oxides, hydrophilic cabon black, medium hydrophilic organic pigments Enables high pigment loadings, at lowest viscosity
- APEO Free
- Optimizes color development
- Strong contribution to electrostatical pigment stabilization, as well as sterical stabilization effect, thus minimizing tendency to flocculation in the liquid stage as well as during film formation of waterborne coating and printing systems
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Ink & Toner Type
- Use Level
- 0.5 and 2.0%
- Application
Polymeric wetting and dispersing agent for all types of pigment dispersions: RFPC & RMPC for architectural, industrial paints.
- Application
Polymeric wetting and dispersing agent for all types of pigment dispersions: Resin free & Resin Minimal pigment concentrates for inks.
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of Pat-Add DA603 to be used is system related, but generally is between 0.5 and 2.0% Pat-Add DA603, calculated on the total weight of coating or ink formulation. The dosage is related to the offered pigment surface area, organic pigments and high surface carbon blacks being at the higher side of the recommendation. The product is best added to the mill-base before the pigments. For use in pigment concentrates (PC) higher levels are suggested, such as 3 to 10% Pat-Add DA603 on total weight of the PC The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions.
