Borchi® Gen ND plus

Borchi® Gen ND plus by Borchers is a 2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)ethyl dihydrogen phosphate, compound with N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine. It acts as a wetting-, dispersing- and anti-gelling-agent. Contains 100% active ingredient. Due to its amphiphilic and ionic structure, it has good wetting and dispersing properties even at low dosages and especially with inorganic pigments. It also shortens pigment grinding times appreciably. The gloss, color intensity and leveling properties of the applied coating system are significantly improved. It prevents the settling of pigments and fillers during storage and acts as an anti-gelling agent when basic pigments and acidic binders are used. In systems using metal based catalysts or driers, excessive Borchi® Gen ND plus might cause a prolonged open time and pot life due to complex formation with metal ions. Furthermore, this interaction improves significantly brightening of white and clear coatings based on alkyds and unsaturated polyesters. Mostly used in oil paints, alkyd paints, reaction paints and chlorinated rubber paints. Suitable for solvent-borne and solvent-free industrial coatings as well as waterborne systems such as emulsion paints and water based pigment concentrates. For the formulation of waterborne pigment pastes, a combination of Borchi® Gen ND plus with Borchi® Gen 12 or Borchi® Gen DFN is recommended. The dosage rates are 3-5% for titanium dioxide and 10-15% for other inorganic pigments.
