Coating Industry and Printing Inks
Special Features and Benefits
The additive deflocculates pigments by means of steric stabilization. As a result of the small particle sizes of the deflocculated pigments, high levels of gloss can be achieved and the color strength is improved. Transparency and hiding power also increase and viscosity is reduced. In this way, the flow characteristics are also improved and higher pigment loading is possible. For inorganic pigmented coatings, which are applied using electrostatic high rotation equipment, haze is significantly reduced.
Recommended Use
The additive is recommended for all solvent-borne and solvent-free coatings and printing inks to stabilize inorganic pigments, specifically titanium dioxide. Its anionic character makes it ideal for acid-catalyzed systems (e.g. coil coatings).Recommended Levels
Amount of additive (as supplied) based upon pigment:
Inorganic pigments: 5-10%
Titanium dioxides: 2-4%
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of pigments.
