Water base tinters have been planned to achieve the maximum environmental compatibility level. This means that non-toxic pigments and the lack of cosolvents provide aesthetic and technological results comparable to the solvent ones.
The hiding power of water base tinters is very high and similar to that of the solvent tinting system for what concerns the choice of pigments and concentrations.
It should be noted that water base tinters have less stability that solvent ones (one year maximum). They also are sensitive to low temperatures (10° C minimum). The warehouse has to be well programmed for both products quantity and environmental quality.
The main features of our water base tinters are:
- High pigment concentration.
- Use of specific dispersing agents and not binders.
- High settlement, flocculation and pigments flotation stability.
- Maximum development of tinting power.
- Low viscosity.
- Computerized control of shades and chromatic yield.
- Lack of organic solvents and dyes which contain heavy metals (such as lead, chromium, cadmium).
