ADD-5054 is an electro-neutral wetting and dispersing additive to improve the wetting of pigment surfaces and organically treated Bentonites and to reduce the time required for the grinding process. ADD-5054 is suitable for architectural paints. It creates thixotropy and therefore prevents flooding, floating and settling of the pigments and reduces sagging.
