Wetting & Dispersing Agent (Rheoflow DS-10...

Description Rheoflow DS-104 is suitable for medium to high polar coating systems. It reduces the interfacial tension between the hydrophylic pigments/extenders and the hydrophobic binders, forming a lattice structure with the pigments at the same time. And also it effects the controlled flocculation of pigments and extenders. Composition Lower molecular weight unsaturated polycarboxylic acid polymer Properties Non-volatile matter 50±2% Acid value 100~200mg KOH/g Density(20C) 0.95±0.02g/cm3 Solvent : Xylene / diisobutylketone = 9 / 1 Flashpoint 28°C Advantages Excellent effective in preventing flooding of titanium dioxide in combination with other color pigments. Using in anti-corrosion primers and coating systems, in many cases the protective properties are enhanced. It is not compatible with mineral spirits. Applications Solvent based coatings - Vinyls, Acrylics, Epoxies, Urethanes, Alkyds - Epoxy heavy duty paint and floor coatings based on Urethane or Epoxies. - Industrial and architectural coatings - Anti-corrosion systems and coil coatings etc. Recommended Amounts and Incorporation Methods The additive amounts : 3~10% based on inorganic pigments, 10~20% based on organic pigments, 0.5~2.5% on titanium dioxide of delivery form. For optimum performance, the additives should be added into the millbase.
