Key Properties
  • TAMOL® 963 35% DISPersant is supplied at 35% solids in the ammonia form. It is highly compatible with anionic HASE associative rheology modifiers. TAMOL® 963 35% DISPersant can be used with ACRYSOLTM DR series of rheology modifier products to offer excellent heat age and viscosity stability. It is a very low foaming dispersant and has excellent color acceptance with glycol and water dispersed colorants including hard to disperse pigments such as red iron oxide.
  • TAMOL® 963 35% DISPersant should be tested at 0.3% 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.
