Technical Details & Test Data

Dispersing Efficiency

TAMOL® 1254 DISPersant should be tested at 0.5% to 1.0% active ingredient based on total pigment weight. It is important to determine the proper level for the finished paint formulation. If a low level is used, the dispersion may be incomplete providing an inadequate grind that will not maximize gloss, hiding or stability. High levels of dispersant may lead to increased water sensitivity.
