Hydropalat 1080 shows excellent wetting and dispersing properties in aqueous, binder and solvent-free pigment pastes. Hydropalat1080 provides outstanding flow properties even at high pigment load.In topcoats based on different binder types Hydropalat1080 improves pigment wetting and therefore increases gloss and color intensity of the paint, especially in combination with organic pigments.Hydropalat1080 shows excellent results in waterbased alkyds, polyester resins as also in aqueous polyurethane emulsions.

recommended concentrations

the dosage used in pigment pastes depends on the actual pigments. Typical recommended addition levels for pigment pastes, calculated on the weight of pigment are as follows:
