EFKA® FA 4671

EFKA® FA 4671 helps to prevent interfacial tension between the hydrophilic pigments/extenders and the binders. This results in reduced dispersion time, stabilization of the pigment dispersion, decreased flooding of pigments, and prevention of hard sedimentation. This product is an alkylol ammonium salt of a high-molecular weight carboxylic acid. EFKA® FA 4671 is suitable for use in low or high-polarity solvent systems as well as water-based coatings. It is used to reduce flooding and settling in non-polar systems e.g. air drying alkyd paints. It is an effective anti-settling agent in wash and shop primers. It improves the color acceptance of tinting bases in white latex paints, resulting in higher pigment efficiency.
