Coating color properties are largely controlled by selecting the types, grades and quantities of the pigments and binders. However, certain properties must be modified or optimized, and therefore, it is necessary to add small quantities of other chemicals to the color (and often to sizing solutions, as well). Addition rates are usually between 0.2 and 2 parts per 100 parts of pigment. |
