Fields of Application

Due to its chemical structure SILCO GA 1011 is particularly recommended as wetting and dispersing additive for organic pigments and carbon black.

Preferred fields of application:

  • Printing inks
  • Water based systems
Recommendation for Use
  • We recommend a dosage of 3 - 6% on organic pigments and 15 - 100% on carbon black calculated on the total pigment weight.
  • The optimal dosage has to be determined through preliminary tests. The dosage depends on the pigment’s chemical nature, the shape and the particle surface.
  • The additive should be added to the mill base before predispersion.
