- Recommended Applications
Designed for new-generation vehicle systems, the product does not promote foam and has neglible effect on such important properties as gloss, hardness and dry time. Terasperse® 2230 through its well-balanced surface-active functionality provides an excellent combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic attributes, allowing the formulator to optimize the dispersion of almost all pigments and extenders, including such difficult-to- disperse pigments as phthalo blue, phthalo green and carbon black. Terasperse 2230 can be added to a finished coating or ink to boost color acceptance.
- Recommended Use Levels
Terasperse® 2230 should be added to the mill base in the range of 1% to 15% by total weight, depending on the pigments used and other surfactants and vehicles utilized. When used as the sole dispersing agent in mill bases, Terasperse® 2230 is often used in the range of 5% to 9% based on total weight. As the sole dispersing agent in tinting pastes, Terasperse® 2230 is used at levels between 11% to 15%. When used as the grinding aid in water-based mill bases, about 2% of total weight is recommended as the starting point.
