SA516 Pigment disperser for powder coatings

1. Description:

Additive plays an aesthetic role in improving a product’s appearance also provide mechanical or chemical resistance. By definition, additives are added in small quantities, often less than one point percent, to re-inforce selected chemical or physical properties of the finished powder coatings. Powder coating products has some limitations that are intrinsic to the technology itself, which are linked to the physical state of the Powder coating before application on the piece to be coating. Powder particles must melt first (melting), then aggregate to form a homogeneous liquid film (flow) and finally crosslink to form the final coating film (crosslinking). Sometimes the defect effect is created, which sometimes distinguishes the final appearance of powder coatings compared to more conventional liquid coatings. Therefore, additives play an important role in powder coating technology.

SA516 is a 100% active polymeric disperser with improving pigment dispersion and stability in powder coatings.

2. Typical properties:

Herein described to be typical properties and do not constitute specification limits.

3. Characteristics:

Can be used in a broad range of powder coatings based on: PES/TGIC, PES/HA, Hybrid, Epoxy, PU and Acrylate.

Good pigment dispersing ability to provide better color strength/development, esp.for carbon black.

Improved gloss and flow/leveling

Improved film quality.

4. Type specification:

Functional additive
Model	Application	Processing&Use level	Characteristics
SA516	Pigment dispersant	Premix&extrusion 0.5-1% by weight of total formula	Excellent pigment dispersing ability, improve color strength Use for organic pigment with bright color
K7658	Flow wetting modifier	Premix&extrusion 0.5-2% by weight of total formula	Reduces or mitigates craters, pinholes Improving substrate wetting and help reduce haze
K7007	Anti yellowing agent	Premix&extrusion 0.2-1% by weight of total formula	Use for high temperature or overbaking yellowing Also helpful for weather resistance
K7921	Adhesion additive	Premix&extrusion 0.5-1.5% by weight of total formula	Improve adhesion of powder coating especially for water boiling adhesion
K7922	Adhesion additive	Premix&extrusion 1-3% by weight of total formula	Improve adhesion of powder coating suitable for stainless steel and galvanized substrates
K7301A	Binding agent	During the binding process, the dosage is 0.8-1.5% of the total weight of the formula.	Prevent binding agglomeration, increase binding temperature, improve metal powder coating effect and reduce metal powder consumption.
