Toynol® DS-197 Dispersing Agent
1 🎯 Abstract
Toynol® DS-197 is a high-performance water-based dispersing agent, composed of a mixture of amine alkyl hydroxy affixture of HMW styrene acrylic copolymers and surfactant. It has good wetting effect on pigments and fillers, outstanding deflocculation, and provides powerful charge repulsion. Specially suitable for organic pigment dispersion, it can reduce the viscosity of grinding systems and improve the color development of millbases. Affordable, APEO-free, environmentally friendly.

3 🛠️ Application Guide
3.1 Recommended Application Fields
Applicable Pigments: Phthalocyanine organic pigment (blue/green), azo organic pigment (red/yellow), sublimation dye
Applicable Products: Water-based inks, architectural coatings, wood and furniture coatings, automotive coatings, can coatings, anticorrosive paints, leather coatings
3.2 Usage Methods and Recommended Dosage
3.2.1 Recommended Dosage
Organic pigments: 10-50% (based on pigment, calculated by dispersant solid content SOP)
3.2.2 Operation Guidance
First add dispersant into water, then add powder, stir at 4000rmp/min for 10min. After the powder is completely wetted, add grinding glass beads to start timing grinding.
Do not add wetting agents separately; Toynol® wetting agents can accelerate original powder wetting.
Adding Toynol® defoamers can quickly eliminate grinding foam.
To obtain optimal performance, Toynol® additives must be added to water before resin and pigment.
It is advisable to conduct gradient tests to determine the optimal dosage.
3.2.3 Grinding Operation
Equipment: Dispersing sand mill; Grinding Media: Glass bead (0.8-1.2mm), filling rate 70%; Parameters: 3000rmp/min for 60min
3.2.4 Performance Evaluation
Centrifugal stability: Take 20ml millbase into centrifuge tube, centrifuge for 10min under 3000r/min, observe millbase layering, pour out liquid and calculate precipitate amount and percentage.
Viscosity evaluation: Use Brookfield rotational viscometer
Fineness measure: Scraper fineness meter
Viscosity stability: Store millbase in 100ml wide-mouth bottle at 40℃ for 24 hours, measure viscosity change; ±50% change is regarded as qualified.
