1. Product Description
A non-ionic polyacrylic polymer dispersing agent designed for stabilization of pigments and fillers in water-based systems through steric stabilization mechanism. Suitable for architectural coatings, primers, putties and alkaline cleaning formulations.
2. Typical Physical Properties
| Appearance | Clear to slightly hazy liquid |
|---|---|
| Solid Content | 30 – 45 % |
| pH (as supplied) | 6.0 – 8.0 |
| Viscosity (25°C) | 100 – 800 cps |
| Specific Gravity | 1.05 – 1.15 |

3. Mechanism of Action
- Adsorption onto pigment surface
- Polymer chain extension into aqueous phase
- Steric hindrance prevents agglomeration
- Improves dispersion efficiency and gloss development
4. Applications
- Acrylic Emulsion Paints
- Exterior & Interior Primers
- High PVC Systems
- Pigment & Filler Slurries
- Low Foam Alkaline Degreasers (soil suspension aid)
5. Recommended Dosage
- 0.2 – 1.0 % on total formulation
- 0.5 – 1.5 % based on pigment weight
6. Advantages
- Low electrolyte sensitivity
- Wide pH stability range
- Improves viscosity control
- Reduced re-flocculation tendency
- Low foaming behaviour
7. Storage & Shelf Life
Store in tightly closed containers at 5 – 40°C. Protect from freezing and direct sunlight. Shelf life: 12 months from date of manufacture.
8. Safety & Handling
Use appropriate PPE during handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Refer to MSDS for detailed safety information.
