high molecular weight polymeric wetting and dispersing additive for solventborne coatings and pigment concentrates.

ES-COAT SS 596 is a polymeric dispersant particularly recommended for the dispersion of organic and inorganic pigments in solventborne coatings. Recommended to be used in the millbase, the specific chemistry of ES-COAT SS 596 improves considerably the pigment dispersion and prevents the flocculation of the stabilised particles, this result in:

• Gloss improvement

• Rheological behaviour improvement

• Higher pigment load

• Flocculation stability

• Colour strength improvement

• Anti-flooding behaviour

Thanks to its specific polymeric structure, it has a wide grinding resin type compatibility which allows to be used in various systems such as Industrial Coatings, Wood Coatings, Automotive Coatings or Architectural Coatings. Pigment Concentrates based on ES-COAT SS 596 could be easily together mixed to offer the required high performance color.

ES-COAT SS 596 has to be used at the grinding step, first carefully homogenised with the grinding resin and the solvent prior to the pigment incorporation before proceeding the grind. The optimal dosage should be achieved after some laboratory tests in the customer specific binder.
