Humectants for pigment preparations

Dispersogen AN 200 is a surfactant-based dispersing agent for water-based and solvent-based pigment preparations, suitable for inorganic and organic pigments as well as for specialty carbon blacks. The product is especially recommended for use in point-of-sales colorants and concentrates for in-plant tinting. The general dosage recommendation is 10-50 % on organic pigments and 5-20% on inorganic pigments. Dispersogen AN 200 also acts as wetting agent/compatibilizer in waterborne high PVC paints as well as in waterborne and solvent-borne low PVC lacquers. The general dosage (supply form) is 0.6-1.9% in emulsion paints, 1.5-1.9% in acrylic lacquers and 1.3-1.9% in alkyd lacquers.

Dispersogen Flex 100 is a dispersing agent with pigment-affine groups for dispersing organic and inorganic pigments, including carbon blacks and titanium dioxide. The resulting pigment preparation is highly compatible with all types of waterborne paint systems. The product is free of APEOs and solvents and contains less than 1.0% VOCs and 0.1% SVOCs (ISO 11890-2).

Dispersogen PTS is a nonionic, surfactant based dispersing agent for water-based pigment preparations, suitable for organic pigments and carbon blacks.The product is recommended for use in point-of-sales colorants and concentrates for in-plant tinting. The general dosage recommendation is 5-40% on organic pigments.

Dispersogen PLF 100 is a polymeric dispersing agent. It is distinguished by its superior storage stability, excellent color strength and low foaming during pigment paste fabrication. When applied in a finished paint it shows reduced blocking and low leaching for exterior paints. Dispersogen PLF 100 can be used not only for organic pigments, but also for selected inorganic pigments and carbon black. It is APEO/ NPEO-free, low VOC and free of any organic solvents and structural units of concern. Dispersogen PLF complies with criteria of the European Ecoflower, the German Blue Angel and the Scandinavian Nordic Swan.

Dispersogen ECS is an anionic, surfactant-based dispersing agent for water-based and solvent-based pigment preparations, suitable for organic pigments and specialty carbon blacks. The product is especially recommended for use in in-plant tinters. The general dosage recommendation is 20 - 50 % on organic pigments. Dispersogen ECS also acts as wetting agent/compatibilizer in waterborne high PVC paints as well as in waterborne and solvent-borne low PVC lacquers. The general dosage (in supply form) is 1.7-3.3% in emulsion paints, 3.3-5.0% in acrylic lacquers and 0.85-1.7% in alkyd lacquers.

Polyglykol G 500 MB Terra is a very low VOC humectant for waterborne pigment preparations.

Polyglykol 400 is a polyethylene glycol with a mean molecular weight of 400 g/mol.
