JebChem 8740 AQ – Dispersing Agent
JebChem 8740 AQ
JebChem 8740 AQ is a Polymeric Dispersant for organic pigments in water-based coatings. It reduces mill base viscosity for better dispersion and allows high pigment loading. It is suitable for making water-based binder free pigment pastes and inks. It is low foaming and provides good gloss in high gloss water-based paints.

Benefits
Excellent wetting and dispersing additive for organic pigments especially red, blue and carbon black
Low foaming, reduce viscosity and improve gloss
Recommended Dosage
5% – 20% (Organic Pigment), Amount of additive (as supplied) based upon pigment
Recommended Use
Organic and carbon black pigments in water borne systems
Test Method
Prepare pigment concentration paste as formulation. Grinding the paste with high-speed shaker and glass bead (80% of the paste), grinding time for 1.5hr.
Determine basic wet paint properties
- Fineness
- and viscosity of the paste
Determine colour shade
- Tint 1% paste in commercial base A for “Reduced shade”
- Tint 5% paste in commercial base D for “Full shade”
