  • Modified polyacrylic polymeric dispersant for water-based systems. Improved version of 4560 that gives better viscosity depression on pigments, especially carbon blacks and transparent iron oxides. More effective dispersant for colorants within water-based systems.
  • Special bloc-copolymer dispersant for water-based systems. Designed with superior water-resistance. Designed for use in both architectural paints and general industrial coatings as well as water-based colorants. Yields lower viscosity, stable dispersions with higher color strength and good in-can stability.
  • Dispersant for universal colorants for architectural applications and water based systems.  Recommended for all types of pigments including transparent iron oxides.  Does not need to be pre-neutralized.
  • 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.

  • Fluorocarbon modified polyacrylic Anti-crater, substrate wetting and leveling agent for solvent-based coatings AFCONA-3670 is an improved version of AFCONA-3777 on managing surface control of coatings. It has lower surface tension than AFCONA -3777. The combination with a suitable polysiloxane for better overall performance is highly recommended. Due to the fluorocarbon modification, it gives lower surface tension than normal pure acrylic leveling agents. Therefore, it gives better anti-crater and improved substrate wetting. The obvious performances of AFCONA-3670 are: 1. improve leveling 2. prevent craters 3. help substrate wetting 4. act as a defoamer and de-aeration aid 5. do not interfere with intercoat adhesion AFCONA-3670 is suitable for all solvent based coatings, especially: 1. baking paints, as leveling and anti-crater agent 2. PU coatings, as leveling, anti-crater and anti inner bubble agent 3. epoxies, as leveling and anti-crater agent
  • Universal unsaturated polyamide and acid ester salt dispersant and wetting agent for all solvent-based systems. Can be used to prepare bentointe gels. An economic replacement for 5044.
  • Solution of acidic polyester phosphorous dispersing and wetting agent specifically designed for pure white paints in solvent-based systems. Very good viscosity reduction. Suitable for most solvent-based systems. Not suitable for air-drying ink systems.
  • Amine rich polymer of carboxylic acid and polyamide dispersing agent for carbon blacks and organic pigments. Specifically for artificial leather, polyurethane, alkyd, polyamide and printing ink systems.
  • Unsaturated polyamide and acid ester salt universal dispersant for solvent-based systems. Can be used to prepare bentonite gels.
  • HMW carboxylic acid salt wetting and dispersing agent for solvent-based systems. Higher polarity compared to 5044. Used in low to medium polar systems. Can cause yellowing in NC. Most recommended for bentonite gel preparations.
  • HMW unsaturated carboxylic acid with polysiloxane wetting and dispersing agent for solvent-based systems. An effective co-grinding agent, containing polysiloxane. Can be used as a post-add to correct floating and flooding problems. Can give foam stabilizing effect due to the silicone modification.
