- Properties
PAT-ADD DA 3051 is a polymeric dispersing agent showing strong stabilization performance onto a wide range of organic and inorganic pigments as dispersed in an apolar medium, like in xylene dissolved binders.. PAT-ADD DA 3051 contributes to best dispersion stability, low mill-base viscosity and high coloristic strength. PAT-ADD DA 3051 is most suitable for co-grinding procedures, i.e. in milling processes where a mixture of various organic and/or inorganic pigments is being dispersed instantly

- Addition and Dosage
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD DA 3051 to be used is system related, but generally is between 0.5 and 3.0% calculated on mill-base, if used in co-grinding process. For pigment concentrates, a dosage in dosage in between 5 and 12% PAT-ADD DA 3051, calculated on the total weight of pigment concentrate, is considered as being a good starting point. The optimum level is best determined experimentally, for instance by a ladder study using various dosages and checking the effect on main paint features. The product is typically added to the mill-base prior to the pigment addition.
- HIGHLIGHTS
Provides excellent spray dilution stability, minimizing risk of paint separation.; Provides superior pigment dispersion stability, preventing pigment flocculation; Applicable for co-grinding milling procedures as well as for pigment concentrates; Preventing pigment floatation. Optimizing DOI, gloss; Provides optimal interaction with synergists like Pat-Add DA 2650
- End Use Applications
PAT-ADD DA3051 recommended for industrial and automotive solvent-borne paints such like 2-pack PUR, baking systems such as based on alkyds, PE, acrylics systems.
