Features Of Dow OROTAN 1618 Dispersant

  1. High-efficiency polymeric dispersant designed for stable pigment and filler suspension in aqueous systems.

  2. Excellent wetting and deflocculation performance across a broad pH range (pH 4–10).

  3. Low foaming character, minimizing processing issues in high-shear mixing and pumping operations.

  4. Compatible with common water-based resins including acrylics, styrene-acrylics, and PVA-based binders.

  5. Reduces viscosity build-up during storage, supporting long-term colloidal stability of concentrated dispersions.

Typical Applications Of Dow OROTAN 1618 Dispersant

  1. Architectural and industrial waterborne paints and coatings.

  2. Water-based inks for flexographic and gravure printing.

  3. Construction chemicals, including cementitious tile adhesives and grouts.

  4. Industrial maintenance coatings requiring high solids loading and rheological control.

  5. Functional coatings such as anti-corrosive primers and fire-retardant formulations.
