DESCRIPTION:

SUPERSPERSE® 95 is a multifunctional dispersant that is used in both the grind and the letdown phase. SUPERSPERSE® 95 eliminates the need for additional buffers in the coating such as ammonia, TEA or aminomethylpropanol. SUPERSPERSE 95® is UV stable and under most conditions will not cause discoloration.

APPLICATION:

In latex systems, SUPERSPERSE® 95 is used in conjunction with common dispersants. In the grind, reduce the level of current dispersant by 30 to 40% and replace with SUPERSPERSE® 95 at 0.75 to 1.00 pound per 100 gallons.

Better pigment dispersion and shorter dwell times will be realized, which can reduce the amount of prime pigments needed to achieve desired opacity and/or tint strength. In most cases, a 10% reduction of glycols will be possible.

Adjust the final pH with SUPERSPERSE® 95 at 0.5 to 1.0 pound per 100 gallons.

• SUPERSPERSE 95® helps establish a stable pH, which reduces flash rusting and improves thickener performance without negatively affecting the early water sensitivity of the system.

• Stable pH properties will reduce the occurrence of pigment flocculation for products that require extended shelf-life.

• Additional benefits include better scrub and water resistance due to the lower content of conventional non-volatile dispersants.

• SUPERSPERSE 95® has very low odor and is not detected by most observers when properly applied.
