Kabasph Additive Solutions for Colour Paste Systems

Colour paste systems are widely used in coatings, inks, plastics, and construction materials to provide consistent color, high pigment loading, and stable storage. They require uniform pigment dispersion, excellent anti-settling performance, and effective foam control to ensure accurate color reproduction and smooth application. Key challenges include pigment agglomeration, floating and flooding, viscosity drift, sedimentation of dense pigments, and foam generation during mixing and application. Our additives help formulators achieve stable color pastes, high gloss, excellent storage stability, and reliable performance in demanding tinting systems.

l KBS-F1820 is a modified polyester polymer dispersant for colour paste systems. It provides broad compatibility, excellent pigment wetting, and dispersion stability, ensuring uniform color development and preventing pigment agglomeration.

l KBS-F0400 is a modified polyester polymer dispersant designed for general-purpose nanofiller dispersion, carbon black, graphite, and other pigments. It delivers excellent stability and is suitable for color pastes requiring fine particle dispersion.

l KBS-Z0420C is a modified polyester polymer dispersant that provides pigment dispersion, anti-floating, and gloss stabilisation in color paste formulations. It ensures consistent color and prevents separation during storage.

l KBS-Z1610A is a modified polyurethane compound dispersant with excellent pigment dispersion, anti-floating, and gloss stabilisation properties. It is particularly effective for organic pigments and high-performance color pastes.

l KBS-Z9760 is an alkyl ammonium salt of polymer copolymer dispersant. It provides electrostatic stabilisation, anti-settling, and viscosity reduction, making it ideal for pigment concentrates with high solid content.

l KBS-Z8600 is an acid polyester compound dispersant for inorganic nano-filler dispersion. It delivers excellent stability and is suitable for color pastes containing inorganic pigments and fillers.

l KBS-C410K is an organic polyurea anti-sinking thixotropic agent. It provides thixotropic flow, anti-settling, anti-sag, and storage stability in color paste systems.

l KBS-C6100 and KBS-C6200 are modified polyamide solution anti-sinking thixotropic agents. They deliver thixotropic control, anti-settling, sag control, and good compatibility with various resin systems.

l KBS-X055K and KBS-X052K are polyacrylate non-silicone defoamers with high defoaming performance and compatibility. They effectively control foam without causing surface defects.

l KBS-X053K is a non-silicone defoamer with high defoaming performance and compatibility, especially suitable for color pastes where silicone-free formulations are required.

Application Areas

Colour paste systems are widely used where accurate color, high pigment loading, and storage stability are critical. Typical application areas include:

l Solvent-Based Color Pastes — Used in industrial coatings, architectural paints, and wood coatings. Excellent pigment dispersion and anti-settling performance ensure consistent color and long shelf life.

l Pigment Concentrates — Applied in universal tinting systems for point-of-sale color mixing. Broad compatibility and viscosity reduction enable high pigment loading and easy incorporation.

l Ink Pastes — Used in printing inks for packaging, publications, and graphics. Fine particle dispersion and anti-floating properties ensure sharp print quality and color consistency.

l Coating Colorants — Applied in waterborne and solventborne coatings. Non-silicone defoamers prevent foam-related defects such as pinholes and craters.

l Industrial Coatings — Used in automotive, machinery, and equipment coatings. Anti-sag and thixotropic control support thick-film application and vertical surface performance.

l Architectural Coatings — Applied in decorative paints and facade coatings. Weather resistance and color stability are supported by excellent dispersion and anti-settling.

l Universal Tinting Systems — Used in retail paint mixing. High compatibility and storage stability ensure accurate color matching and long-term performance.
