- Incorporation in Formulations
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. The optimum amount of dispersing agent required to form a stable dispersion strongly depends on a pigment's chemical nature, the particle surface and shape.; The polymer base of the latex also plays a very important part in the stability equation. In general, significant overdosing may deteriorate the coatings properties (e.g., water resistance) and also generates an economic disadvantage.; Likewise insufficient dispersing agent will lead to instability on storage. In common with other dispersing agents, because of the batch-to-batch variations of the demands of a specific pigment or latex type it is recommended that the formulator uses 1.5 - 2.0 times the determined optimum level of the dispersing agent.; DeCAL 2075 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.
