Polymeric Dispersing Agent for Water based Paints, Inks and Ceramics Dispex® N 40 ap is a versatile polymeric dispersing agent for a wide range of water borne coatings, inks, ceramics, and rubber latex dispersions. The neutralizing alkali used in Dispex® N 40 ap is sodium neutralized hence is low odor which makes it ideal for water-borne low odor interior paint. Dispex® N 40 ap shows superior stability and tint compatibility. The product is almost colourless making it suitable for white paint. It can be used in most flat to low sheen/semi gloss formulations. Dispex® N 40 ap is compatible with all styrene acrylics, straight acrylics and vinyl acetate based copolymers used as binders for paint.

Labeling According to all the data at our disposal. the information and advice given in our Safety Data Sheet should be observed. neither do they imply any legally binding assurance of certain properties or of suitability for a specific purpose. Although. it is recommended to use 1.Aqueous Pigment Paste • Interior wall paint • Exterior emulsion paint • Ceramic dispersions • Rubber latex dispersions Processing The efficiency of the wetting depends primarily on the comparative surface tension properties of pigment and water as well as the viscosity of the resultant mix. As batch to batch of a specific pigment or dispersion type might vary. Dispex® N 40 ap adsorb on the pigment surface and facilitate the liquid/solid interfacial interaction and help to replace the air/solid interface by liquid medium/solid interface. Skin care measures should be adopted and safety goggles should be worn.5 to obtain optimum dispersing efficiency.Dispex® N 40 ap Application Areas of application •. It is recommended to add pigment to a heavily stirred water containing the dispersing agent as opposed to addition of dispersing agent to a pigment slurry.5 times the demand optimum level of the dispersing agent. In general the pH of the final preparation should be in the region of 8. a significantly higher dose has a adverse effect on the paint/ink performance. In view of the many factors that may affect processing and application. Safety General Attention must be paid to the normal precautions for handling chemicals and to the measures prescribed in the local health regulations. Page 2 of 3 .2 to 1.
