Genapol ED 3060
Wetting agent for decorative paints
- Edition Date :
- February 02, 2018
- Wetting agent: Genapol ED 3060 improves the wetting of the pigments used for the coating formulation and the wetting of the coated surface.
- Tinting strength enhancer: Genapol ED 3060 improves the compatibility of pigments and minerals with polymers and binders in emulsion paints and prevents the rub-out effects of organic pigments. Genapol ED 3060 prevents the flocculation of organic pigments during drying of the paint film. The resulting coating obtains the optimum tinting strength.
- Paint stabilizer: Genapol ED 3060 improves the stability of paint formulations containing organic and inorganic pigments in waterborne paint formulations: Genapol ED 3060 is added to prevent flocculation, separation, rub-out and flooding in waterborne coatings
- Defoaming agent: Genapol ED 3060 additionally reduces the foam build up during the paint manufacture. Genapol ED 3060 releases entrapped air and helps to reduce and save foam control agents in the paint formulation.

PLANET
RESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
- High active content: 100 %
- Increased efficiency in the use phase due to improved compatibility, leading to reduced rub-out and higher tinting strength
- Multifunctionality helps to reduce volume of other formulants (e.g. defoaming agents)
- Free of environmental hazard label
- Less impact on aquatic life (LC50 > 500 mg/l)
