Vanconol® LFS-090 Wetting Dispersant for Waterborne Systems
Vanconol® LFS-090 High-Efficiency Wetting and Dispersing Agent for Waterborne Systems
Abstract
Vanconol® LFS-090 is a high-efficiency wetting and dispersing agent developed to address the dispersion stability of organic pigments and carbon black in waterborne coatings, printing inks and adhesives. Its chemical composition is an alkoxy compound nonionic active agent. Its key benefits include significantly reducing grinding system viscosity, improving pigment dispersion efficiency and providing a pronounced deflocculating effect on organic pigments and carbon black. Compared with conventional solutions, it is particularly suitable for preparing highly concentrated organic pigment and carbon black colorants, is APEO-free, and is a suitable option for improving pigment dispersion quality and production efficiency in waterborne systems.

Main Features and Advantages
- Efficient viscosity reduction and dispersion: Significantly lowers grinding system viscosity, improves production efficiency and shortens dispersion time.
- Excellent deflocculation: Provides a pronounced deflocculating effect on organic pigments and carbon black, improving colorant stability and tinting strength.
- High-concentration suitability: Particularly suitable for preparing highly concentrated organic pigment and carbon black colorants, optimizing formulation cost.
- Environmentally friendly and safe: APEO-free and compliant with environmental regulations.
Recommended Application Fields
- Waterborne colorants: Resin-free concentrates, increasing the loading of organic pigments (phthalocyanine blue, organic red) and carbon black.
- Industrial coatings: Waterborne industrial paints and automotive coatings, enhancing compatibility between colorants and base paints and preventing floating and flooding.
- Printing inks: Waterborne flexographic and gravure inks, optimizing pigment dispersion and improving color saturation.
- Adhesives: Pigmented waterborne adhesives, improving pigment/filler dispersion and processing efficiency.
Usage and Recommended Dosage
Addition sequence: When producing resin-free concentrates, first mix LFS-090 with water and wait until the additive is fully dissolved and uniform before adding the pigment.
Recommended dosage: 1%-5% of the total formulation; may be used in combination with Toynol® dispersants (such as DS-255).
Low-temperature handling: The product may separate below 0°C; warm to 30°C and stir until uniform before use.
