• Long-term dispersion stability
• Compatible with a wide range of resin systems

Applications

• Coatings
  • Automotive
  • Industrial
  • Protective and Marine
  • Decorative
• Printing inks

Dosage

The exact dosage should be experimentally determined through a ladder study. Borchi^® Gen 1452 should be added to the mill base before adding the pigment. Active on pigment loading:

• Titanium dioxide: 3 – 5 %
• Inorganic pigments: 5 – 10 %
• Organic pigments: 10 – 30 %
• Carbon blacks: 30 – 80 %
• High jetness carbon blacks: 80 – 120 %

Storage

Protect from the effects of weather and store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °C. Turbidity and flocculation may occur if Borchi^® Gen 1452 is exposed to temperatures below 15 °C. This effect is reversible and does not affect its potency. Warm the material to room temperature and mix well before using. If its viscosity has also increased and it is difficult to handle the material must be heated to 50 °C to return the viscosity to normal. Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product.
