Webinar: New benchmark in waterborne dispersion
The demands and trends in architectural coatings create complexities in formulating pigment pastes. Enhancing color strength, extended storage life, foam reduction during grinding, and simplifying the formula to reduce additional additives that lead to leaching in a final sustainable waterborne dispersion.
Clariant Paints and Coatings has addressed this by innovating Dispersogen® PLF 100. This 100% active, VOC free, polymeric dispersing agent performs tremendously in inorganic, organic and carbon black pigment systems and is suitable for eco-labelling finished products. Join us for this webinar to explore the potential of discovering the new benchmark in dispersing agents for your pigment paste formulations.
