Key Properties
  • TAMOL® 983 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 may not maximize gloss, hiding or stability. High levels of dispersant may lead to increased water sensitivity.
  • TAMOL® 983 DISPersant is supplied at 35% solids in the potassium form. It is highly compatible with anionic HASE associative rheology modifiers. TAMOL® 983 DISPersant can be used with ACRYSOLTM DR-series Rheology Modifiers, offering 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.
