Borchi® Gen 0451

Borchi® Gen 0451 is a high molecular weight wetting and dispersing agent used in water and solvent-based coating systems. It is designed to improve pigment wetting, shorten dispersion time, and efficiently deflocculate pigments through steric stabilization. Notably, it is VOC (volatile organic compounds) free and does not contain alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO).
Here are some key points about Borchi® Gen 0451:
- Chemical Composition: Borchi® Gen 0451 is a solvent-free polyurethane oligomer.
- Properties: It improves color strength and gloss in cured films, while also extending the shelf-life of paints and pigment concentrates by inhibiting settling and reflocculation.
- Applications: It is recommended for high-quality industrial, automotive, and automotive refinishing paints, as well as for universal pigment pastes. It can be used in various systems including waterborne alkyds, acrylics, aqueous 2K polyurethanes, solvent-borne polyurethanes, epoxies, thermoplastic polyacrylates, unsaturated polyester coatings, polyvinyl chloride plastisols, and UV coatings.
- Compatibility: It is compatible with short and medium oil alkyd resins but has limited compatibility with long oil alkyd resins. An alternative product, Borchi® Gen 0755, is recommended for use in long oil alkyd resin formulas.
- Dosage: The recommended dosage varies based on the type of pigment being used. It should be added slowly to the mill base under agitation prior to adding pigments for best results.
- Storage: It should be protected from the effects of weather and stored at temperatures between 15 and 30 °C. Turbidity and flocculation may occur if exposed to temperatures below 15 °C, but this effect is reversible.
- Safety: Safety data sheets should be referred to for information regarding product safety.
Borchi® Gen 0451 is manufactured by Borchers GmbH and is recommended for its effectiveness in dispersing and stabilizing both organic and inorganic pigments in various coating systems.
