Addressing Trends and Challenges in Formulating Pigment Pastes. Introducing the New Benchmark in Waterborne Polymeric Dispersing Agents.

The demands and trends in architectural coatings create complexities in formulating pigment pastes. Enhancing color strength, extended storage life, foam reduction during grinding, and simplifying the formula to reduce additional additives that lead to leaching in a final sustainable waterborne dispersion.

Smart and advanced coatings connote materials properties that add value to function and performance - even for demanding applications.
