Chroma-chem® UCD® 1799V

Chroma-chem® UCD® 1799V by Chromaflo Technologies is a black iron oxide inorganic pigment. The colorant vehicle consists of a low-molecular-weight acrylic resin dissolved in propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PM) acetate. The tinting strength of this colorant is controlled to ±2% of the standard. The low molecular weight of its vehicle i.e. non-functional methacrylate polymer helps to ensure full development of pigment strength while providing a rheological profile suited to automated dispensers. It is compatible with most coating systems based on acrylic, nitrocellulose, alkyd, polyester, epoxy, epoxy ester, alkyd urea, alkyd melamine, urethane, polyester isocyanate and vinyl. It is also compatible with most aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, ethers, ketones, and reactive diluents. It exhibits light fastness as well as acid- and alkali resistance. It is thixotropic, which makes it resistant to separation by settling or syneresis. It is suitable for solvent-borne coatings. Chroma-chem® UCD® 1799V is used in automotive OEM, concrete protection, general industrial finishes, marine and protective coatings. It has a shelf life of 3 years.
