Description

Texaphor 963 is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant and dispersing agent widely recognized for its exceptional stabilizing properties in complex formulations. Its core value lies in its ability to effectively prevent pigment flocculation and sedimentation, ensuring long-term color consistency and stability in demanding applications. This product is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, inks, and pigment concentrate industries who require reliable dispersion and enhanced performance in their final products.

Application

• Industrial Coatings: Acts as a key dispersant and stabilizer for organic and inorganic pigments in solvent-based and high-solids coatings, improving gloss, color strength, and storage stability.
• Printing Inks: Enhances pigment dispersion in various ink systems, contributing to superior print quality, color development, and reduced risk of nozzle clogging in digital applications.
• Pigment Preparations and Masterbatches: Used in the production of pigment concentrates (e.g., for plastics) and pigment pastes to achieve optimal pigment wetting, de-agglomeration, and viscosity control.
• Automotive Refinish Paints: Provides critical stabilization for metallic and effect pigments, ensuring consistent flop and orientation for a high-quality finish.
• Wood and Furniture Coatings: Improutes the dispersion of stains and pigments in clear and pigmented wood coatings, enhancing transparency and color uniformity.
• Construction Chemicals: Employed as a grinding aid and stabilizer in colored mortars, concrete stains, and other building material formulations.
