Recommended Uses & Known Applications

Neptune 250-SD is recommended for use in liquid ink and coating formulations, including water-based, solvent-based, and UV systems for packaging and gravure inks, general industrial, furniture and floor coatings. Addition of 2-5% Neptune 250-SD into the above systems helps to reduce the surface coefficient of friction and imparts excellent mar and scuff resistance.

Neptune 250-SD is easy to disperse due to its spherical particle shape and offers good wetting, stability, and higher loading levels in pre-dispersions.
