DISPEX^® Ultra FA 4480 is a wetting a dispersing agent with excellent pigment wetting properties for coatings and aqueous pigment pastes. It shows excellent wetting and dispersing properties in aqueous, binder and solvent-free pigment pastes. DISPEX Ultra FA 4480 also provides outstanding flow properties even at high pigment load. In topcoats based on different binder types DISPEX Ultra FA 4480 improves pigment wetting and therefore increases gloss and color intensity of the paint, especially in combination with organic pigments. This product also shows excellent results in waterbased alkyds, polyester resins as also in aqueous polyurethane emulsions.

The typical dosage for DISPEX Ultra FA 4480 in top-coats lies between 0.2 % and 1.5 %. DISPEX Ultra FA 4480 should be added to the paint before grinding.

DISPEX Ultra FA 4480 is well suited for organic pigments and carbon black whereas DISPEX Ultra FA 4483 provides excellent dispersions with inorganic pigments. Together Dispex Ultra FA 4480 / FA 4483 are used to formulate APEO-free and glycol-free universal colorants. See Dispex Ultra FA 4480 / FA 4483 Value Card for Pigment Concentrates
