Terasperse® 2230
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Good Color StabilityImproved RheologyLow VOC
Terasperse® 223 - A low VOC, low foaming, alkyl phenol ethoxylate-free dispersant for a wide range of water-based vehicle systems for industrial and architectural coatings, as well as aqueous inks. At 34% active, Terasperse® 2230 is an excellent dispersant for organic and inorganic pigments and does not significantly affect gloss, dry time, resistance properties, film hardness and other film properties. The product can improve color acceptance when added to the finished ink or coating formulation.

- 40 pounds.
- Use Levels
Terasperse® 2230 should be added to the mill base in the range of 1% to 15% by total weight, depending on the pigments used and other surfactants and vehicles utilized. When used as the sole dispersing agent in mill bases, Terasperse® 2230 is often used in the range of 5% to 9% based on total weight. As the sole dispersing agent in tinting pastes, Terasperse® 2230 is used at levels between 11% to 15%. When used as the grinding aid in water-based mill bases, about 2% of total weight is recommended as the starting point.
- Recommended Applications
Designed for new-generation vehicle systems, the product does not promote foam and has neglible effect on such important properties as gloss, hardness and dry time. Terasperse® 2230 through its well-balanced surface-active functionality provides an excellent combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic attributes, allowing the formulator to optimize the dispersion of almost all pigments and extenders, including such difficult-to- disperse pigments as phthalo blue, phthalo green and carbon black. Terasperse 2230 can be added to a finished coating or ink to boost color acceptance.
