PAT-ADD DA 1801

PAT-ADD DA 1801 by PATCHAM FZC is a solution of a polymer with acidic groups. Acts as a wetting and dispersing agent for use in solvent borne paints and inks. Reduces the viscosity of the millbase, thus optimises the milling process, enabling high pigment loading and best color development. Furthermore, It improves gloss and levelling. The anionic, slightly acidic character of PAT-ADD DA 1801 makes this additive ideal to be used for acid catalysed systems. Furthermore, PAT-ADD DA 1801 has shown excellent performances, if used in conjunction with polymeric dispersing agents, such as PAT-ADD DA 934. Possesses strong prevention of pigment flocculation, floating, flooding, and pigment settling. It is particularly suitable for the formulation of pigment concentrates, as designed for use in industrial and automotive systems. It is used for inorganic as well as organic pigments, particularly for titanium dioxide and main organic pigments. The optimal amount of PAT-ADD DA 1801 to be used is system related, but generally is between 0.4 and 1.5 % PAT-ADD DA 1801, calculated on the total weight of paint formulation. It is a REACH compliant.
