Abstract

A pigment-containing coating formulation combines (i) polymeric wetting and dispersing additives that absorb onto pigment particles to surround pigment particles to prevent or limit sedimentation; (ii) a self-crosslinking acrylic dispersion with low surfactants and long open time, allowing the pigment to lay flat instead of migrating and agglomerating at the surface; and (3) rheology modification facilitating good Newtonian flow behavior and balanced thixotropic thickening of the coating for improved brushability, flow and leveling for improved appearance with keener light reflection and more uniform pearlescent and metallic effect appearance.
