Ethylan CDP 1480
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Good Color StabilityImproved Color Acceptance
Ethylan CDP 1480 is a nonionic dispersant and wetting agent. It can be used to replace nonylphenols (NP) in waterborne paints to improve color acceptance when adding a colorant to the white base. Benefits Cost-effective wetting agent Easy to handle Good foam control Increased gloss Features Very low VOC content Compatible with all other surfactant types, i.e. nonionic, anionic and cationic Stable under alkaline and acidic conditions

- Applications
When used in a white base paint, the starting recommendation for dosage is 0.4% based on the total weight of the paint. It is normally recommended to add the Ethylan CDP1480 in the grind, to facilitate an improved wetting and distribution of the various surface active ingredients on the pigments.
- Coating Type
- Waterborne Coating
- Key Benefits
Favorable cost in use wetting agent in water borne paint formulations; Effective in providing good color acceptance when adding a colorant to the white base; Capable of increasing the gloss of the paint; Very low content of VOC; Can be used for emulsion polymerization; Compatible with all other surfactant types, i.e. nonionic, anionic and cationic; Stable under alkaline and acidic conditions
- Technology
- CASE Ingredients
- Surfactants in Paint
The paint is from a surface chemistry point of view a very complex system. In order to make all these components form a stable colloidal suspension, a 'compatibilizer' is often required.; The use of a surfactant as compatibilizer facilitates the use of having multiple sourcing of polymer emulsions, colorants / pigments and rheology modifiers, as the surfactants and surface chemistry properties of these components usually differ between producers.; In the formulation of water borne paints, nonionic surfactants are often preferred. One main reason is that their action is less impacted by the presence of salts and other electrolytes, as are anionic surfactants.
- Wetting Agent Properties
Ethylan CDP1480 is a nonionic surfactant that offers improved color acceptance in water borne paints.. A good replacer of NP surfactants and has very low VOC content. It is easy to handle with good foam control.
