TAMOL® 851

• TAMOL® 851 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 have the required gloss, hiding, or stability. High levels of dispersant may lead to increased water sensitivity.
• The exceptional stabilizing efficiency of TAMOL® 851 DISPersant to that of two general-purpose dispersants in zinc-oxide containing exterior flat formulations. TAMOL® 851 DISPersant shows exceptional reactive pigment stability with a variety of binders, while the other dispersants fail the severe heat stability test across the board.
• Heat stability and resulting adhesion performance of an exterior semigloss formulation. Although the competitive dispersants pass the heat stability test along with TAMOL® 851 DISPersant performance differences between the dispersants surface in the adhesion test results. Only the paint containing TAMOL® 851 DISPersant tests blister-free; the other dispersant systems show severe blistering and loss of adhesion over acrylic chalk.
