Tallicin® 1512

1 of 54 products in this brand
Tallicin® 1512 is designed to produce very high quality pigment dispersions in a wide variety of coatings, inks and plastic systems at higher solids than conventional dispersants and grinding vehicles. When used in conjunction with the existing resin in a formulation, Tallicin® 1512 typically lowers the viscosity of the pigment paste, often provides a higher pigment loading for the system, and can also produce a finished product after let-down that has extremely effective anti-settling characteristics.

Functions: Grinding Aid

End Uses: Solventborne Coating, Solventborne Ink

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Acrylics, Alkyds, Cellulose & Cellulosics, Epoxies (EP), Polyesters, Polyurethanes (PU), Vinyls

Features: Anti-Settling, Good Compatibility, Good Pigment Dispersion

Recommended Use Levels

Tallicin® 1512 is effective as a grinding vehicle for various pigments, including those that are difficult to disperse. It can be incorporated into the grind as the sole resin or along with the formulation resin prior to the addition of pigment and prior to the addition of bentonite clay. When Tallicin® 1512 is used as the sole resin, the level of addition will have to be experimentally determined for each pigment. When using Tallicin® 1512 in conjunction with the formulation resin, the recommended level of addition is in the range of 4-8% of the total batch weight. A higher level of Tallicin® 1512 may be needed for higher oil-absorbing pigments (phthalo blue or carbon black.)
