Pigment Stability Guide How to Prevent Floating and Flooding in Paints Floating and flooding are paint defects where pigments separate, migrate or appear unevenly distributed in the coating film. These issues can cause shade variation, patchy color, poor appearance and inconsistent batch performance. Suitable wetting, dispersing and pigment stabilization additives help reduce these problems. Request […]
Coating Surface Defect Guide How to Prevent Orange Peel in Coatings Orange peel is a common coating surface defect where the dried film looks uneven, textured or similar to the surface of an orange. It can affect gloss, smoothness, appearance and perceived coating quality. The right flow and leveling additive, rheology balance and application control […]
Coating Surface Defect Guide How to Solve Craters and Pinholes in Coatings Craters and pinholes are common coating surface defects that can affect appearance, protection, adhesion and film quality. These defects are often linked to foam, air entrapment, poor wetting, contamination, incorrect additive selection or poor surface flow. Request Additive Guidance Explore Antifoam Additives Overview […]
Industrial Coating Foam Control How to Prevent Foam in Industrial Coatings Foam in industrial coatings can cause poor surface finish, craters, pinholes, air entrapment, reduced film performance and production delays. The right antifoam or defoamer additive helps control foam during manufacturing, mixing, filling and application. Request Antifoam Guidance Explore Antifoam Additives Overview Why foam control […]
Pigment Dispersion Guide How to Reduce Milling Time in Pigment Dispersion Milling time is a major factor in pigment dispersion efficiency, production cost and batch consistency. The right dispersing additives and hyperdispersants can help improve pigment wetting, reduce mill base viscosity, speed up dispersion and support long-term stability. Request Product Guidance Explore Dispersing Additives Overview […]
Pigment Dispersion Guide How to Improve Gloss and Color Strength in Paints Using Dispersing Additives Gloss and color strength in paints are strongly influenced by pigment wetting, particle separation, dispersion stability and formulation compatibility. The right dispersing additive helps pigments perform better and improves final paint appearance. Request Product Guidance Explore Wetting & Dispersing Agents […]
Hyperdispersant Guide Hyperdispersant vs Standard Dispersant: Which One Should You Use? Hyperdispersants and standard dispersing additives both support pigment dispersion, but they are not always used for the same formulation challenges. Choosing the right one depends on pigment difficulty, pigment loading, resin system, coating medium, grinding process and final stability requirement. Request Product Guidance Explore […]
Dispersing Additive Guide How to Choose the Right Dispersing Additive for Coatings Choosing the right dispersing additive is important for pigment wetting, grinding efficiency, color strength, gloss, hiding, viscosity control and long-term coating stability. The correct choice depends on pigment type, resin system, coating medium and final performance requirement. Request Product Guidance Explore Dispersing Additives […]
Normal water is the water which is easily available to us. It can be water which is provided by government/corporation or procured from wells, rivers, canals etc. This water contains many free salts & minerals like Ca(HCO3), CaSO4, MgSO4, CaC12, NaCl, SiO2, this can vary from source to source & place to place.
After having evaluated a range of extenders, it has been observed that some improvement in TiO2 utilization is possible, although the claims of 20 to 30% saving of TiO2 could not be fully substantiated when all the major paint properties were considered.
