DELTA-DC® 4242
DELTA-DC® 4242 is an anionic wetting and dispersing agent for inorganic and organic pigments; and
fillers/extenders. It is suited for solvent-based, solvent-free and water-based applications. Reduced viscosity
can be obtained in the mill-base or pigment concentrate when combined with high molecular weight
dispersants. DELTA-DC® 4242 can be used in coatings, printing inks and composite.

Acid value : 95-105 mg KOH/g
Active ingredients : >98%
Methods of analysis can be received upon request
Printing Inks
DELTA-DC® 4242 improves the pigment wetting and reduces the dispersion time
of inorganic pigments (particularly Ti02) and a few organic pigments.
Deflocculation of pigments when using DELTA-DC® 4242 can lead to improved
gloss, rheology and levelling of the final ink.
It has broad solvent compatibility and is suitable for use in both alcohol- and
acetate-reduced nitrocellulose printing inks and pigmented bases. DELTA-DC®
4242 is well-suited to packaging flexographic applications.
For best results, DELTA-DC® 4242 should be combined with the pre-blended
liquid portion of the mill-base formulation before addition of the pigment.
2.0-5.0% on inorganic pigments
5.0-8.0% on organic pigments
Composite
DELTA-DC® 4242 facilitates the incorporation of fillers and pigments in PVC-
Plastisols and solventfree epoxy floorings. Through this improvement of the
dispersing process, a more homogeneous distribution of fillers/extenders and
pigments is achieved. In addition, a strong viscosity reduction is obtained. The
dispersing of organic pigments in plasticizers or other liquid phases can result in
increased color strength.
DELTA-DC® 4242 is especially suitable for wetting, dispersion and stabilization
of inorganic pigments and fillers in solvent-free epoxy and polyurethane systems,
like flooring or pipe-line coatings.
DELTA-DC® 4242 should be mixed with the plasticizer prior to the addition of the
fillers/extenders and pigments.
2.0-4.0% on inorganic pigments and fillers/extenders
5.0-7.0% on organic pigments
Storage:
DELTA-DC® 4242 should be stored in a cool dry place. When kept in an original unopened container, it will
keep up to 5 years from the date of manufacture. The production date is indicated on the container.
Packaging:
