【Description】:

CLiQSPERSE 172 is a highly efficient polycarboxylate based dispersing agent for aqueous systems. The low viscous sodium neutralised polymer is odourless and VOC-free which is of particular importance for modern decorative paint systems.

CLiQSPERSE 172 is highly recommended for aqueous decorative latex paints, pigment concentrates and slurries based on inorganic pigments or extenders. It provides a low viscous mill-base or pigment concentrate viscosity with excellent storage stability.

CLiQSPERSE 172 does not promote foaming in the final system and is stable against hydrolysis.It is compatible with almost all inorganic pigments or extenders and most decorative industrial aqueous systems. In latex paints it can be combined with CLiQSPERSE 121 to optimise paint stability, gloss development and compatibility with pigment concentrates.

【Level of Use】:

CLiQSPERSE 172 is best dissolved in water prior to pigment or extender addition. The optimum loading level should be determined for each system using a loading ladder study (pigment demand curve). A loading between 0.05 - 2.0 % based on total is typically required to achieve the desired systems stability and viscosity.

CLiQSPERSE 172 is effective in a pH range 5 - 12, optimum efficiency is achieved in a pH range of 8 -9. It shows an excellent temperature stability of up to 100°C.
