Polyglykol 200 LVC
Humectant for Pigment Preparations
Edition Date :
August 10, 2020
Polyglykol 200 LVC is a very low-VOC humectant for water-borne pigment preparations with little impact on wet scrub resistance.
Polyglykol 200 LVC retards the drying of pigment pastes and forms a soluble film of the pigment preparation. Polyglykol 200 LVC prevents the clogging of the nozzles of tinting systems and metering machines.
The dosage in pigment preparations varies from 5 – 15% in the preparation.
- For organic pigments: 25 – 30% on pigments
- For inorganic pigments: 10 – 15% on pigments
