As a modern anti-settling agent, it acts via adsorption phenomena on the pigment surface and effectively prevents pigments from settling and forming hard, difficult-to-stir sediments even in low-viscosity coatings such as, e.g., dipping paints and wash-primers. This is possible even in the presence of specific high density pigments based on lead, chrome, barium, iron and titanium. In addition, the uniform electrostatic charge imparted by EFKA® FA 4600 prevents re-agglomeration thereby counteracting any premature settling of the pigments. EFKA® FA 4600 is an easy to use liquid anti-settling agent, the particular advantage of which is that it is effective over a broad range of polarity. It can, therefore, be used in a nitrocellulose lacquer, the solvents of which are mainly polar, as well as in decorative paints which only contain white spirit, i.e., a non-polar solvent. EFKA® FA 4600 is also an excellent anti-settling agent for low-viscosity printing inks, e.g., flexographic and gravure. In particular it counteracts the tendency of inorganic pigments to settle. view less | |

It has been used with great success for years in the paint industry as a special agent for preventing sedimentation. EFKA® FA 4601 was developed as a result of detailed studies regarding interfacial activity. The mode of action of EFKA® FA 4601 systems results from the high surface activity of its constituents with almost all pigments. If processed properly, the individual pigment particles are coated with a monomolecular layer of adsorbed compounds which prevent agglomeration into larger particles, with the result that the fine particles remain in suspension and no caking occurs. This viscous liquid is a blend of selected fatty alcohol sulfates. EFKA® FA 4601 does not contain any alkali ions, and it is effective in most paints, provided they are not distinctly polar in their composition. view less | |

This clear liquid avoids flocculation of pigments, increases color strength and also reduces grinding time. It is a carboxyl functional polymer that can be used in all systems independent from its polarity, e. g. alkyds, PE, acrylics. 2 - component polyurethane paints, 2 - component epoxy paints, unsaturated polyester. The application in systems with low polarity is possible as well. EFKA® PA 4450 is used in combination with all commonly used solvents. It shows good solubility even with isoparaffins, which makes it very useful for these systems. It also shows excellent performance when used as a dispersant in pigment pastes. view less | |

It is a solution of vinyl polymer in organic solvents. EFKA® PB 2001 is used in nitrocellulose lacquers, particularly those applied on curtain coaters, 1- or 2-component acid curing wood coatings, particularly fast drying types applied on curtain coaters, acrylic resin finishes, air drying epoxy resin paints and unsaturated polyester. The paint industry uses defoamers to ensure that air bubbles occurring during application of lacquers and paints can escape from the film while still wet. The formation of craters is thus substantially eliminated. One must differentiate between: bubbles which originate from the substrate (wood and paper are typical examples), and bubbles which may be generated in the paint by pumping, rolling, airless spraying or curtain coating. view less | |
