Binders for Pigment Concentrates
Binders for Resin Minimal Pigment Concentrates
The RMPC concept improves the manufacture of pigmented coatings or paints through the use of a
highly pigmented, low resin content pigment concentrates. The concentrates can be formulated to
be compatible with the majority of resins used to manufacture industrial coatings, while meeting the
specific requirements of paint end-users.
Resin Minimal Pigment Concentrates (RMPC) based on ADD binders and high molecular weight
dispersants off er the following advantages over conventional pigment concentrates:
1. Consistent colour development / no flocculation
2. Considerably lower resin content
3. Significantly lower viscosity
This leads to the following benefits:
► No flooding or floating
► Minimal effect on the quality of the finished product
► Application in a very wide range of different systems and solvents due to excellent compatibility of
the pigment concentrates ADD-1000 range

Foam Control Additives
Foam
During the production and application of paint systems, foam is an undesired side-effect of mixing. It
is usually slowing production and making it difficult to fill vessels with the correct amount of paint. In
addition it can cause surface defects such as craters and weak points in the dried film.
Stable dispersion of gas bubbles in a liquid medium
The most general definition of foam is a substance that is formed by trapping many gas bubbles in
a liquid or solid. A foam is normally an extremely complex system consisting of poly disperse gas
bubbles separated by draining films. In other words foam can be described as a stable dispersion of
gas bubbles in a liquid medium. In pure liquids, foam is not stable. Foam is only stable in systems
containing surfactants.

Slip & Levelling Additives
The surface of coating
Although the coating might be for different purposes; protective, decorative or both, it is the
eye-catcher for its users and consumers. It is exposed to “the world” and has not only to withstand
some severe circumstances like weathering, but is responsible for the appearance of the coating,
colour, brightness, gloss and the “touch”. It all starts at the surface. In most cases, superior surface
properties cannot be achieved without the addition of slip & levelling additives which alter the surface
properties of the coating.
Polysiloxanes have a very high surface activity and therefore are often used as surface control
additives. Silicone-based surface control additives are modified by polyethers, polyesters or alkyl side
groups to improve recoatability and inter-coat adhesion. Modification parameters are silicone content,
molecular weight, and modification degree.
Polyacrylates, homo- and copolymers based on (meth)acrylic monomers are well known surface
control additives. In addition to their positive impact on flow and levelling, acrylic homo- and co-pol-
ymers are effective as air-release agents. Since they are not reducing the surface tension of the
coating to the extent of silicone-based products, the wetting of substrate surfaces is improved
(substrate wetting).

11An IGM Group Company Dispersing Additives Pigment stabilization by steric hindrance When dispersing pigments, in particular organic pigments, one often encounters problems such as flocculation, insufficient colour or transparency, poor rheological behaviour or bad stability. These issues arise along every step of the coatings life cycle from production and storage through to the end-use performance of the film. The dispersing of solid pigments or fillers into the liquid phase of binder solutions is an important step in paint and coatings production influencing optical properties like gloss and colour strength. Dispersion control additives are used to improve and accelerate the dispersion process and to stabilize the dispersion during storage. High molecular weight wetting and dispersing agents Are built of linear or branched polyacrylate or polyurethane structures with a molecular weight between 5,000 g/mol - 30,000 g/mol and have special groups which have high affinity towards specific sites on the pigment surface. These are called anchoring groups, and are built in at strategic points on the polymer backbone. Mode of action Anchoring groups enable strong interaction between the dispersion control additive and the pigment surface. This interaction is much stronger compared to the anchoring mechanism of the conventional low molecular weight types. Because these dispersion control additives have multiple adsorptions points, they are therefore connected to numerous sites on the surface of the pigment particles. The remaining parts of the dispersion control additive act as a steric barrier to the surroundings by stretching into the liquid phase and assuring an effective steric hindrance preventing flocculation. 12

Dispersing Additives
Pigment stabilization by controlled flocculation
The dispersing of solid pigments or fillers into the liquid phase of binder solutions is an important
step in paint and coatings production influencing optical properties like gloss and colour strength.
Dispersion control additives are used to improve and accelerate the dispersion process and to
stabilize the dispersion during storage.
Low molecular weight wetting and dispersing agents
are categorized according to their chemical structure and the nature of their hydrophilic groups
(amphoteric, cationic, … etc). The molecular weight is between 800 and approximately 2000 g/
mol which is too low to give enough steric hindrance for stabilization of organic and carbon black
pigments
The interaction of their polar groups with the pigment surface and the behaviour of the non-polar
chains in the medium determine their effectiveness.
Mode of action
The polar heads will form hydrogen bonding interactions
between different pigment units resulting in a network that
enhances the separation of the particles (controlled floccu-
lation).
Inorganic pigments are usually metal oxides which contain positive metal ions and negative oxide
ions. These ions are good anchoring points on which the anchoring groups of the dispersion control
additive can attach to (polar interactions).

17An IGM Group Company Dispersing Additives Pigment stabilization by hybrid dispersants Hybrid dispersant are modern low molecular weight dispersants. They contain anchoring mecha- nisms similar as in high molecular weight dispersants but have significant lower molecular weights varying between 1000 – 5000 g/mol. Due to the anchoring groups, multi adsorption is possible and therefore anchoring on organic- & carbon black pigments can be achieved. Compared to conven- tional low molecular weight dispersants the molecular weight of these hybrid dispersants are usually much higher which ensures more improved steric hindrance. The active substance of hybrid dispersant is typically 100%. Because high molecular weight disper- sants are usually having 30 – 60% activity, hybrid dispersants are very cost effective to use. Unlike conventional low molecular weight dispersants, hybrid dispersants can be used for inorganic-, organic- and carbon black pigments. Example of a hybrid dispersant polymer with ‘triple tail’ technology. 18
