UNIWET 3048
Uniwet 3048 is a high-performance wetting and dispersing agent specifically designed for use in both solvent-based and water-based systems. This advanced additive is engineered to lower the surface tension of pigments, minerals, and other solid particles, ensuring superior dispersion and stability. Uniwet 3048 is particularly effective in dispersing challenging pigments such as carbon black, beta blue, and pthalo green, making it an essential component for achieving optimal color development and consistency.
Its versatility allows it to be used across a wide range of applications, including automotive, architectural, wood and furniture, industrial, can, coil, and protective system coatings, as well as printing inks, leather finishes, and aqueous formulations. Compatible with a variety of solvents, including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, and esters, Uniwet 3048 is ideal for both low PVC and high PVC pigmented and opaque systems. With its 100% active formulation, this additive ensures excellent performance and enhanced results in water-incorporated alkyd paints and other demanding systems.
Benefits of Uniwet 3048 includes:
- Excellent wetting of pigments for improved dispersion
- Prevents settling and floating of pigments, ensuring stability
- Enhances color brightness and development
- Increases gloss levels in paints and coatings
- Improves substrate wetting, leading to better adhesion properties
- Compatible with both water-based and solvent-based systems
- Delivers superior performance in water-incorporated alkyd paints
Recommended dosages:
The recommended dosage of Uniwet 3048 ranges from 0.05% to 0.5%, depending on the specific formulation and desired performance. Dosages should be optimized based on the target application and system requirements to achieve the best results.
