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.
