PCI Group HSWADA-60

HSWADA-60 is a unique blend of a functional capped amine with tall oil fatty acid. The resulting product is a triangular shaped wetting agent with high efficiency toward alkaline based pigments. The key to the utilization is to maintain maximum mobility of the grind paste during initial incorporation of pigment. This can be achieved by choosing a resin that has good wetting characteristics and provides the lowest viscosity at the maximum solids. Continue to add pigment until viscosity reaches 100-135 KU @ 120-150°F. The order of pigment addition should be primary colors and high oil absorption pigments followed by extenders and rheology modifiers. Bentonite clays can be activated by HSWADA-60 to produce a strong consistent gel. We recommend pre-activation and quality control checks to assure uniform gel formation. Systems include: alkyds, drying oils, amino resins, vinyls, acrylics, oil modified urethanes, polyesters, epoxies, and epoxy esters.
