Performance and processing advantages
Compared to conventional dispersing agents, Borchi® Gen 0311 offers formulators several performance and processing advantages, including:
- Excellent color strength development, supporting deeper shades and improved tinting efficiency
- Broad pigment compatibility without compromising dispersion performance
- Low viscosity dispersions, enabling easier processing and improved handling
- Outstanding long term dispersion stability, minimizing risks of flocculation and settling while supporting consistent coating performance over time
- An APEO-free and tin-free solution aligned with evolving regulatory and sustainability expectations
“Borchi® Gen 0311 was developed to address a common formulation challenge - how to simplify dispersion without sacrificing color strength or stability. By enabling reliable co grinding across a broad range of pigments, this technology helps formulators improve efficiency while maintaining the performance standards demanded in industrial polyurethane applications,” said Dr. Zuhal Tuncay, European Market development manager, Coating Additives.
