ADD-P50 is a derivative of a family of highly effective, low viscosity dispersing agents for a wide range of waterborne
coating systems. Especially suited for the dispersion of inorganic pigments.
ADD-P50
Description
ADD-P50
ADD-P50 is an excellent dispersing agent delivering process efficiencies across a range of market applications:
Paints
Adhesives
Ceramics
Electronic ceramics
ADD-P50 can be used as supplied. ADD-P50 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-P50 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-P50 into the formulation (based on total pigment weight). is an excellent dispersing agent delivering process efficiencies across a range of market applications:
- Paints
- Adhesives
- Ceramics
- Electronic ceramics
Storage, safety & handling
Although ADD-P50 is freeze stable, it is recommended to store the product at temperatures above 5 oC 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. When kept in an original unopened container,
ADD-P50 will keep up to 2 years from the date of manufacture. Detailed information can be found in the Safety
Data Sheet.
