- Abrasion ResistanceBlocking ResistanceWater Resistance
Decal 2045+ is a concentrated, hydrophobic dispersion used to disperse inorganic fillers and pigments in waterborne systems. DeCAL 2045+ is the sodium salt of a carboxylic acid polymer in water, developed with a higher concentration and improved efficiency. Compared to DeCAL 2045, dosages can be reduced by up to 40% while still maintaining performance. It is recommended for reactive pigment grades and is ideally suited for systems where improvements in water resistance, wet scrub resistance, and blocking resistance are required.

- Storage Condition
Although DeCAL 2045++ is freeze thaw stable, it is recommended to store the product at temperatures above 5ºC to enable easy handling of the product.
- Application Methods
DeCAL 2045++ should be thoroughly mixed with water before adding pigments and fillers to the system using high shear mixers. Using this method very high pigment loading can be achieved.; For optimum dispersing efficiency the pH of the system must be alkaline and preferably above pH 8.; In common with other dispersing agents, because of batch to batch variations of the demands of a specific pigment it is recommended that the formulator uses 1.5 - 2.0 times the determined optimum level of dispersing agent.; Optimum dispersant levels : Titanium Dioxide - 0.6% w/w Calcium Carbonate - 0.2% w/w
