Vinapor® WA 3918 F is a non-ionic powdered wetting and dispersing agent based on an oleo-alkyleneoxide-block copolymer. It is mainly used in pigmented mortars to enhance color development and stability. It improves wetting and processing properties due to viscosity reducing effect thereby, enabling more thorough homogenization with less energy.

Vinapor WA 3918 F is cement robust and provides an increased level of water resistance compared to anionic dispersing agents.

The development of microfoam may be used to replace air entrainers or can be alleviated by the additional use of defoamers if needed.

Applications

• Pigmented systems (e.g. powder paints)
• Tile grouts
