It is soluble in a wide variety of solvents, monomers and reactive diluents and compatible with most non-aqueous coatings vehicles. It can be used as the sole dispersing resin to prepare highly concentrated dispersions of both organic and inorganic pigments. It also will function as an additive to improve the dispersing characteristics of many vehicles with poor pigment wetting properties. Compatibility and effectiveness Disperse-Ayd 9100 is readily soluble in aromatics, ketones, esters, ethers, acrylate monomers and many reactive diluents. In alcohols, high energy mixing or slightly elevated temperatures (approx. 100°F/38°C) are required to dissolve it, but the resulting solutions will remain stable after cooling. Disperse-Ayd 9100 is not soluble in aliphatic solvents but will tolerate aliphatics as diluents. Disperse-Ayd 9100 can significantly improve the pigment-dispersing properties of formulas based on nitrocellulose, high solids polyester, vinyls, epoxies and other poor wetting vehicles. As a starting point, use 2% Disperse-Ayd 9100 on the mill base formula to replace an equal weight of the vehicle present. The Disperse-Ayd can first be dissolved in an appropriate solvent, or if sufficient active solvent is present, dissolved directly into the mill base. As a dispersing resin, Disperse-Ayd 9100 should first be put into solution at approximately 60% solids. The solution should then be used to make highly concentrated pigment dispersions which can either be let down directly into finished coatings or converted into stable dispersions for both in-plant tinting and machine dispensing. It is often only necessary to add the Disperse-Ayd 9100 to the resin/solvent blend in the premix, before adding the pigment. The energy imparted during the dispersion process can be sufficient to dissolve the Disperse-Ayd 9100. Solvent selection can significantly affect compatibility of the finished pigment dispersion. Tinting pastes with the broadest range of compatibility generally result from the use of a blend of PM Acetate and Aromatic 100. Pigment dispersions based on Disperse-Ayd 9100 have shown trouble-free performance in coatings based on two-component urethane, polyester, vinyl, vinyl acrylic, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate butyrate, two-component epoxy, epoxy ester, short-oil alkyd, vinyl toluene alkyd, radiation curable oligomer, medium-oil alkyd, short-oil alkyd, chain-stopped alkyd and chlorinated rubber. These dispersions can be used in single- and two-component air-dry, baking and radiation cured finishes at levels up to 20% to provide uniform color with no adverse affect on drying time, gloss, exterior durability or chemical resistance. Disperse-Ayd Multifunctional Dispersing Agents do much more than simple surfactants. Whether used as additives or as the grinding vehicles for highly concentrated dispersions, they wet and deflocculate pigments without causing foaming or adversely affecting the film properties of your finished coating. No Dispersant Conventional Dispersant Dipserse-Ayd Simple stirring wets out pigment to get ready for milling. The right Disperse-Ayd Dispersant in your waterborne or high-performance, solventborne coatings will provide: Rapid pigment wetting Good flow at high pigment loading Increased mill output Maximum tinting strength development Full chroma development Elimination of floating, flooding and rub-up Compatibility in a broad range of coatings Long-term viscosity stability Optimum initial gloss and gloss retention Elimination of hard settling Solvent-free, pigment- dispersing resin in powder form.
