Dispersion Optimisation

It has been shown that multifunctional amines are excellent neutralizing agents, but these are also a solution to optimize pigment loading in your waterborne coatings.

Multifunctional amines appear to be an excellent co-dispersing agent that will improve both pigment dispersion and stability of your waterborne coatings while at the same time leads to cost savings!

Excellent pigment, fillers and opacifiers dispersion

Thanks to multifunctional amines, your paint's color will be maintained, you'll be able to achieve excellent pigments dispersion and you'll reduce your costs as you'll use less anionic dispersants and pigments.

In addition of the enhanced pigment dispersion obtained you will also reduce your costs as you will use less dispersing agent and pigments in your paste:

Thanks to its ability to co-disperse pigments, multifunctional amines are a cost-effective solution: reduce your paste loading to reach the same paint color!

 

Wetting and adsorption properties

Multifunctional amines' low superficial tension leads to good pigment dispersion and substrate wetting.

Cost reduction

Moreover, thanks to its excellent dispersing and wetting property, multifunctional amines enable formulators to reduce paste loading while reaching the same paint color, thus leading to important cost savings in your optimized formulations.

Using multifunctional amines is not only a way to lower odor, enhance dispersion and avoid stability problems in waterborne coatings, it is also a way to save money.
