Achieving excellent deflocculation and stabilization requires an additive with highly efficient pigment-affinic groups. In general, those pigment-affinic groups are aminic in nature and can react with the epoxy resins. Due to the special hyperbranched structure of DISPERBYK®-2152 the aminic pigment-affinic groups are encapsulated by polyester side chains; this prevents reaction with the epoxy resin, and, as a result, long-term storage stability is achieved. The additive contains no solvents or volatile components and fulfills the strict requirements of the German AgBB as well as French VOC standards view less | |

In addition it makes polar ingredients of universal colorants more compatible with non-polar solvent-based paints into which they may be incorporated. This results in: maximum color development of the colorant based on DISPEX® Ultra FA 4425, optimum color acceptance of universal colorants in base-paints, and higher pigment loading in colorants. DISPEX® Ultra FA 4425, used as a single wetting and dispersing agent, is considered suitable for VOC-free applications, particularly universal colorants. When using universal colorants in decorative paints, the addition of DISPEX® Ultra FA 4425 to the base paints (water and solvent) can increase compatibility and color acceptance, especially in water-based and ultra-low aromatic content decorative paints. view less | |

This results in easier incorporation of the extenders leading to reduced dispersing times. It also provides lower and stable viscosity of the pastes and therefore improved flow, higher filler-load and better flame retardance. Efka® FA 4612 is designed for filled SMC- and BMC compounds. It is also suitable for filled gelcoats. view less |
