- Product Applications
- Production of universal solventborne pigment concentrates which allow the formulator to reduce the number of pigment concentrates in his inventory. These can be used to produce a wide variety of solvent based paints. Table I shows a selection of the resin systems which have proven to be compatible with PARALOID™ DM-55 100% Resin. A much wider range of resins is expected to be fully compatible, but have not been specifically evaluated, yet.
- Grinding of difficult to disperse pigments such as carbon black, transparent iron oxide and quinacridoces. PARALOID™ DM-55 100% Resin has excellent pigment wetting characteristics reducing grinding times and energy demand during the grinding process.
