ADD-N40 can be used as supplied. ADD-N40 has been successfully used to produce a wide range of aqueous slurries and dispersions. Suitable substrates include calcium carbonate, kaolin/china clay, dolomite, ferrite, magnesium hydroxide, mica, satin white, talc, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide etc. ADD-N40 can be used to increase the solids loading of the required inorganic dispersion or reduce the working viscosity at a given solids content.

It is recommended to add the pigment to water containing the dispersing agent with stirring as opposed to
addition of the dispersing agent to a pigment slurry. In general, the pH of the final preparation should be in the region of 8.5 to obtain optimum dispersing efficiency.
Usage 0.5 – 2.0% ADD-N40 into the formulation (based on total pigment weight).
Storage, safety & handling
Although ADD-N40 is freeze stable, it is recommended to store the product at temperatures above 5ºC to enable easy handling of the product. Avoid frost and freezing. Do not store in steel, copper or aluminum containers. Thermal decomposition above 200ºC releases carbon dioxide. ADD-N40 should be handled in accordance with good industrial practice. Detailed information can be found in the Safety Data Sheet.
