Wetting And Dispersing Coating Additive Used For Waterborne Coatings, Pigment Concentrates,Water-based Ink
Product Profile
EK-1732 is a VOC and solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for aqueous coating systems, printing inks and adhesives. Standard additive for binder-free pigment concentrates. EK-1732 deflocculates pigments by means of steric stabilization. As a result of the small particle sizes of the deflocculated pigments, high levels of gloss can be achieved and the color strength is improved.In this way, the flow characteristics are also improved and higher pigment loading is possible.
