Levelling Cum Dispersing Agent

Definition of Dispersing Agent:

A surface active agent added to the suspending medium to promote uniform & maximum separation of extremely fine solid particles often of colloidal size, application include wet grinding of pigments

Properties:

• Appearance: Light Yellow/Brownish Oily Liquid
• pH: 6.0 to 7.0 & 
• Non ionic in nature
• Chemical Nature: It is blend of proven emulsifiers surfactants, polyacrylates and stabilizers
• HLB Value: 13.87
• Stable in Hard Water & Lime
• Compatibility In Alkaline & Acidic Medium

Diko-Lvdisp Provides:

• Excellent levelling & dispersing properties
• Rapid wetting of pigments and better flow of pigment loading
• Full chroma & Maximum Tinting Strength Developments
• Viscosity stability and avoids setting of pigment
• Excellent result as "Universal/Lime Stainer Media"
• Compatibility with broad range of coatings
• Act As Emulsifier in Emulsion Paints

Testing Method:

• Take 100 ml water into 250 ml beaker
• Add small quantity of pigment (alpha Blue/Green), pigments floats on water surface even after stirring & water doesn't get coloured
• Now add 2-3 drops of the products slowly from side edge of beaker, do not stir
• Please observe breaking of pigment into micro particle without stirring & water gets colour of that pigment
• It is called chemical breaking of pigment. It proves that our products eliminates floating of pigment with better dispersing effect
• It reduce Grinding time & improve flow properties. It is ideal with later dispersion e.g. Pigment like phthalocyanine blue in combination with lemon chrome (Bus Green Shade)

Recommended Dosage:

• For water base emulsion: Add 0.3 to 0.5 % LVDISP (of total batch) at grinding stage and before addition of pigment
• For oil base enamel: Add 0.5 to 0.7 % LVDISP (of total batch) at grinding stage and before addition of pigment
• For universal Stainer media: Add 4 to 5% at grinding stage along with Universal Stainer media

Other Details:

• Unique Product working as a Wetting agent, Emulsifier, Dispersing agent and Levelling agent (A combo of 4 in 1)
• For Oil Base Paint Enamel & Water Base Emulsion (Distemper)
• For Printing Inks Manufactures
• Multifunctional Pigment Dispersing media
• For Pigment Paste Manufacturer
• It acts as a grinding vehicle for highly concentrated dispersions, it wets and deflocculate pigments without causing much foaming which adversely affecting the film properties
