At 90% active in Aromatic 100 solvent, Tallicin® Grinding Vehicle 1550 is recommended for high solids dispersions without sacrificing such important criteria as viscosity, pigment loading, compatibility, color development and acceptance. An exceptional grinding resin, the product offers broad compatibility with a variety of resins, solvents and pigments.

Tallicin® 4200 decreases the porosity of unsaturated polyesters and provides a smooth, level finish to the surface. It also eliminates the effects of craters and "orange peel." Tallicin® 4200 is also useful in overcoming bubbles in other types of high solids formulations and acts to improve flow and leveling in these systems.

Tallicin® 3100 acts as an anti-gelling additive for solvent-based vinyl and vinyl-acrylic paints. It can also be used to restore gelled vinyl paints by breaking the gel and stabilizing the paint against further gellation. Typical use levels for stability are 0.3%-0.7% of total weight while 0.5%-1.2% may be required to break existing gel.

At 100% active with a well-balanced surface-active capability, Teraflow® 1000 provides smoother films, allowing the application of thinner coatings, and contributes to substrate wetting, improvement of gloss, and recoat adhesion. Its novel pigment-affinic functionality, allows the formulator to optimize the dispersion of almost all pigments and extenders. It is soluble in ketones such as MEK and MIBK.

Teraflow® 5311 provides mar resistance without a corresponding decrease in coefficient of friction. Tallicin® 5311 also provides flow and leveling to high-solids solvent based systems.

Tallicin® K-3 is a unique wetting and dispersing agent for both organic and inorganic pigments. Dispersant K-3 through it's well balanced surface active functionality optimizes the dispersion of almost all pigments and extenders, including such difficult to disperse pigments as phthalo blue,phthalo green and carbon black. Thus flocculation, flooding, floating and color development problems can be overcome through use of Tallicin K-3. Tallicin K-3 is a lower viscosity, lower solids version of Tallicin K-2 and is designed to replace standard dispersants.

Tallicin® 120 is used as a specialty dispersant for precious metals in thick-film deposition on ceramics used in electronics applications. According to test results, Tallicin® 120 contributes to the conductivity of metal pigments in these applications. Also, Tallicin® 120 is recommended for use in dispersions containing glass frit.

Tallicin® P-1400 is offered in powder form, is used to correct problems of flooding, floating and silking in solvent-based systems. It is compatible with a variety of coatings, including air-dry and baking alkyds, two-component systems, lacquers, etc. Tallicin® P-1400 is also effective with a broad range of pigments and pigment combinations.

Tallicin® 1535 provides high-quality dispersions with inorganic pigments, organic pigments, fillers and silicas. Tallicin® 1535 is compatible with a wide variety of resins, including acrylics, alkyds, urethanes, polyesters, vinyls, nitrocellulose and epoxies. At 50% active in Aromatic 100 solvent, Tallicin® 1535 is particularly effective as the sole vehicle in the grind, eliminating the need for surfactants, and minimizes flocculation.

Tallicin® 253 is 100% solids and is an effective, hydrophobic wetting agent used as a grinding aid in the preparation of high oil-absorbing pigments such as carbon black and phthalo blue. Recommended for use in the range of 1-3%, Tallicin® 253 often replaces high-cost dispersants used at levels of 5-15% based on weight of pigment.

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.

Tallicin® K-2 - An Excellent dispersant for both organic and inorganic pigments in non-polar solvent-based systems. Tallicin® K-2 enhances the acceptance of tint colors into a white base. Tallicin® K-2 is compatible with all oil length alkyds, acrylics, polyesters and urethanes. The FDA has sanctioned K-2 under paragraphs 175.300, Resinous and Polymer Coatings and 175.105, Adhesives. At 97% active, Dispersant K-2 contributes to improved pigment loading, faster grinding time and maximum color development. Used in combination with Tallicin 1550 and Tallicin 1555.
