Ser-ad FA 196 Anionic surface active compound Condea Servo Dispersing agents >> Surfactants-like Acrylic/Acrylate Resins Alkyd Resins Coatings >> Solventborne GENERAL INFORMATION SER-AD FA 196 is a highly concentrated liquid pigment dispersing agent for application in organic solvent-based systems. SER-AD FA 196 is especially recommended for application as a dispersing agent for carbon black, for thermoplastic acrylic systems and as an auxiliary product to improve the action of universal tinting pastes in basic alkyd paints. APPLICATION AND PROPERTIES SER-AD FA 196 is applicable to practically all organic solvent-based paint systems e.g., oxidatively drying systems, and thermoplastic systems. FEATURE -> CONSEQUENCE Strong adsorption on a wide range of pigment surfaces -> improved colour development -> better and faster dispersion -> reduces rub-up and colour float -> improved compatibility of universal colorants Multi-functional Character -> absorps onto a wide variety of pigments -> enables the replacement of various more specific dispersants with just one product 100% active matter -> solvent-free -> highest effectivity • As a dispersing agent for carbon black: An addition of approx. 1 % of SER-AD FA 196, calculated on the total quantity of the milling paste improves the coloring power and counteracts flocculation of various types of carbon black. SER-AD FA 196 must be added before the dispersing process. • As a pigment dispersing agent in thermoplastic acrylic systems and in non-aqueous dispersions: In both of the above mentioned systems, SER-AD FA 196 gives the following advantages: • Higher gloss • Better colouring power • Better and quicker dispersion The product must be applied at a dosage of approx. 1 % calculated on the milling paste, before the dispersing process. • As an auxiliary product to improve the performance of universal tinting pastes in basic alkyd paint: SER-AD FA 196 forms a bridge between the alkyd paint and the universal tinting paste, which results in better flow, colouring power, gloss and stability. The required dosage of SER-AD FA 196 is 0.2 – 0.4 % calculated on the total quantity of alkyd paint. • As a wetting agent in paint removers and brush cleaners: SER-AD FA 196 improves the penetration of the paint remover into the paint layer and of the brush cleaner into the brush. We recommend a dosage of 2 – 6 % calculated on the total amount of the paint remover or brush cleaner. Highly concentrated liquid pigment dispersing agent for application in organic solvent-based systems. Strong adsorption on a wide range of pigment surfaces, improves colour development, provides good and fast dispersion, reduces rub-up and colour float, improved compatibility of universal colorants. Multi-functional character, enables the replacement of various more specific dispersants with just one product. Solvent-free. Provides high gloss, good stability. As dispersing agent for carbon black, recommended usage level is 1 %, calculated on the total quantity of the milling paste. Must be added before the dispersing process. As a dispersing agent in thermoplastic acrylic systems and in non-aqueous dispersions, recommended usage level is 1 % calculated on the milling paste, before the dispersing process. As an auxiliary product to improve the performance of universal tinting pastes in basic alkyd paint, recommended usage level is 0.2 – 0.4 % calculated on the total quantity of alkyd paint. As a wetting agent, recommended usage level is 2 – 6 % calculated on the total amount of the paint remover or brush cleaner.
