​OMG Borchers Gen 1251 Wetting Dispersant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of pigments and fillers is Gen 1251 especially effective for?

A: Gen 1251 is particularly effective for hydrophobic organic pigments (e.g., phthalocyanines, quinacridones) and inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide and iron oxides. It also supports stable dispersion of functional fillers like silica, calcium carbonate, and talc in aqueous and solvent-borne systems.


Q2: Can Gen 1251 be used in both water-based and solvent-based coatings?

A: Yes — Gen 1251 is formulated to deliver robust wetting and dispersing performance across a broad range of media, including water-based architectural and industrial coatings, as well as solvent-borne systems based on aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbons and oxygenated solvents.


Q3: How does Gen 1251 improve storage stability of pigment concentrates (millbases)?

A: Gen 1251 provides steric stabilization through its tailored polymeric architecture, helping to prevent pigment agglomeration and sedimentation during long-term storage. This contributes to consistent viscosity, reduced settling, and improved reproducibility in downstream let-down processes.


Q4: Is Gen 1251 compatible with common rheology modifiers and other additives?

A: Gen 1251 demonstrates good compatibility with associative and non-associative thickeners, defoamers, surfactants, and crosslinkers typically used in modern coating formulations. Compatibility should always be verified under actual formulation conditions due to system-specific interactions.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for Gen 1251 in pigment dispersions?

A: Dosage depends on pigment type, loading, and desired performance, but Gen 1251 is generally used at low concentrations — typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to pigment solids — with optimization recommended via lab-scale trials.
