Fynol 70

Is an oil soluble, nonionic surfactant, which effectively wets out dry pigments. It is a pigment grinding aid recommended for solvent and latex paint systems. Its outstanding wetting action ensures rapid and uniform dispersibility of a wide range of pigments, clays and other paint additives. It also permits increased solids loading, lowers viscosity and decreases sedimentation rates. In addition, its unique character confers many advantages to the paint or enamel such as allowing higher pigment concentration; increasing gloss in enamels; retarding hard settling during can storage; minimizing sagging and running; reducing silking and flooding; as well as imparting better brushability. It is recommended for pigment grinding in both roller and pebble mills. It improves glossmeter readings on gloss enamels, but has little or no effect on flatting agents used in semi gloss or flat finishes. It has been found effective for use in universal tint pastes when employed in combination with water dispersible pastes lecithin. The combination of FYNOL-70 and water dispersible lecithin cuts viscosity and increases pigment loading. In addition, it helps wetting and dispersing. It is also extremely effective as a wetting agent for iron oxide pigments in vinyl solutions used in manufacturing magnetic inks and magnetic tapes.
