Features Of Kao HOMOGENOL L-18 Dispersant

  1. High-efficiency steric stabilization for aqueous pigment dispersions.

  2. Excellent compatibility with acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and polyurethane emulsion systems.

  3. Low foaming profile, minimizing process interference in high-shear dispersion and coating operations.

  4. pH-stable performance across broad range (pH 6–10), supporting formulation flexibility.

  5. Non-ionic surfactant architecture ensures low sensitivity to electrolytes and hard water.

Typical Applications Of Kao HOMOGENOL L-18 Dispersant

  1. Architectural waterborne paints and interior/exterior wall coatings.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings for metal and concrete substrates.

  3. Water-based inkjet inks requiring fine particle stability and jetting reliability.

  4. Functional coatings such as anti-corrosive primers and UV-curable basecoats.

  5. Construction adhesives and cementitious tile grouts with pigment incorporation.
