METOLAT® P 530

METOLAT P 530 is recommended for grinding and dispersing pigments and dyes in aqueous systems. It reduces the mill base viscosity which allows preparation of higher concentrated dispersions. METOLAT P 530 is particularly recommended for dispersing of carbon black. It acts as protective colloid in aqueous dispersions and emulsions. In the building industry METOLAT P 530 is recommended for plasticizing cement based mortars. It increases mortar density without reducing the long-term strength of the concrete. METOLAT P 530 does not influence the foam tendency of aqueous systems. It is resistant to salts, alkaline and acidic environment. It is compatible with most anionic and non-ionic additives. Cationic products may be flocculated by METOLAT P 530. METOLAT P 530 is suitable for wire drawing.

METOLAT P 854 is recommended for use in dry mixtures which are to be blended or diluted with water prior to application. The use of METOLAT P 854 significantly improves wetting of pigments and extenders.

METOLAT P 590 is an APEO free wetting agent in powder form. It is added to dry blends, which are dissolved in water before application. The addition of METOLAT P 590 results in an accelerated wetting of all solid particles, including sand, cement and fibres. This results in a more homogeneous mixture of the mass and a more uniform aspect of the surface after drying. In pigmented systems METOLAT P 590 leads to a faster wetting of the pigment surface and prevents reagglomeration. Colour strength is increased and the pigment can be used more efficiently. METOLAT P 590 improves the homogeneous distribution of the pigments and prevents their floading to the surface. In powder paints the use of METOLAT P 590 prevents rub-out effects. METOLAT P 590 also prevents efflorescence („lime bloom“).

METOLAT P 588 is an APEO free wetting agent in powder form. It is added to dry blends, which are dissolved in water before application. The addition of METOLAT P 588 results in an accelerated wetting of all solid particles, including sand, cement and fibres. This results in a more homogeneous mixture of the mass and a more uniform aspect of the surface after drying. In pigmented systems METOLAT P 588 leads to a faster wetting of the pigment surface and prevents reagglomeration. Colour strength is increased and the pigment can be used more efficiently.

METOLAT P 874 is recommended for the use in dry mixtures which are to be blended or diluted with water prior to application. METOLAT P 874 reduces the shrinkage in cementitious systems.
