Levelling cum dispersing agent DIKO LVDISP

• Unique Product working as a Wetting agent, Emulsifier, Dispersing agent and Levelling agent (A combo of 4 in 1).
•  For Oil Base Paint Enamel & Water Base Emulsion (Distemper).
• For Printing Inks Manufactures
  
•  Multifunctional Pigment Dispersing media.
•  For Pigment Paste Manufacturer.

While dispersing dry pigment, we expect full value from expensive organic and inorganic pigment and optimum output from the equipments.
It acts as a grinding vehicle for highly concentrated dispersions, it wets and deflocculates pigments without causing much foaming which adversely affecting the film properties.

Definition of Dispersing Agent :-

•  A surface active agent added to the suspending medium to promote uniform & maximum separation of extremely fine solid particles often of colloidal size, application include wet grinding of pigments.

• Appearance : Light Yellow/ Brownish Oily Liquid
• pH : 6.0 to 7.0 & Nonionic in nature
• Chemical Nature : It is blend of proven emulsifiers surfactants , polyacrylates and stabilizers .
• Stable in Hard Water & Lime .
  
• Compatibility In Alkaline & Acidic Medium.

DIKO - LVDISP provides:

•  Excellent leveling & dispersing properties.
•  Rapid wetting of pigments and better flow of pigment loading.
•  Full chroma & Maximum Tinting Strength Developments.
•  Viscosity stability and avoids setting of pigment.
•  Excellent result with "Universal / Lime Stainer Media".
•  Compatibility with broad range of coatings.
•  Act As Emulsifier in Emulsion Paints.

•  Take 100 ml water into 250 ml. beaker.
•  Add small quantity of pigment (alpha Blue / Green), pigments floats on water surface even after stirring & water doesn't get colored.
•  Now add 2 - 3 drops of the products slowly from side edge of beaker, do not stir.
•  Please observe breaking of pigment into micro particle without stirring & water gets colour of that pigment.
•  It is called chemical breaking of pigment. It proves that our products eliminates floating of pigment with better dispersing effect. It reduce Grinding time & improve flow properties. It is ideal with later dispersion e.g. Pigment like pthalocynine blue in combination with lemon chrome (Bus Green Shade).

RECOMMENDED DOSAGE:

• For water base emulsion:- Add 0.3 to 0.5 % LVDISP (of total batch) at grinding stage and before addition of pigment.
  

•  For oil base enamel-: Add 0.5 to 0.7 % LVDISP (of total batch) at grinding stage and before addition of pigment.

• For universal Stainer media-: Add 4 to 5% at grinding stage along with Universal Stainer media.
