Processing instructions

Starting point formulations for the production of pigment concentrates are available on request.

In case of foam build up during pigment dispersion use a highly effective but also compatible defoamer concentrate (e.g. TEGO® Foamex 8050, TEGO® Foamex 810, TEGO® Foamex 830).

For the production of carbon black concentrates add a small amount of amine (0.2-3.0 %) to neutralize the partially acidic pigment surface.

For inorganic pigment concentrates the addition of the rheology modifiers (e.g. fumed silica) has proven to be beneficial.

Add to the grind before dispersion.

Handling & storage
