- Fields of Application
Due to its chemical structure SILCO GA 1018 is particularly recommended as wetting and dispersing additive for all organic pigments.
Preferred fields of application:
- Printing inks
- Water based systems
- Recommendation for Use
- We recommend a dosage of 10 - 35% on organic pigments 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.
