  • A non-silicone pure polyacrylic polymer leveling agent. Provides anti-cratering, leveling and improved substrate wetting. Delivers similar performance to fluorocarbon modified products.
  • Pigment synergist developed for water-based systems. 98% active.
  • Modified polyacrylate polymeric dispersant based on CRP (Controlled Radical Polymerization) technology for solvent-based systems. High molecular weight working towards deflocculation of all types of pigments. Offers excellent performance in stabilizing both inorganic and organic pigments; very good stability performance in carbon black dispersions, where very high jetness can be achieved. In metallic systems, it gives a golden undertone for high channel black dispersions.
