DeCAL 4288
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Excellent Freeze/Thaw StabilityExcellent Stability
DeCAL 4288 is a low molecular weight carboxylated acrylic copolymer that can carry very high levels of pigment, providing maximum color development properties at these loadings. To obtain the full benefits, it's essential to use the highest possible pigment binder ratios and the highest possible pigment loading of DeCAL 4288. It's common to prepare a neutralized solution using either ammonia or monoethanolamine in formulations where slower drying or better resolubility is required.
