- 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 2077 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.
