GemSperse KX Series

GemSperse KX is DCL’s exciting new range of pigment dispersions designed for the coloration of paper. Based on a bespoke anionic surfactant system, they are ideal for papers requiring high lightfastness properties. In addition, all products in the series comply with the European standards for NPE content and have low VOC levels (<1g/l).

The low foaming characteristics of the GemSperse KX products make them ideal for mass coloration or for tinting white papers in the wet end system.



GemSperse GX Series (CIT/MIT/BIT Free)

The revolutionary GemSperse GX series has been developed in DCL laboratory, specifically for the children’s finger paint market, where there is a need to meet the stringent requirements of EN71-3 and EN71-7 in the final toy or paint.

The dispersions are free of MIT, BIT and CIT biocides and have been formulated to allow the end paint manufacturer to continue to comply with the relevant European standards, General Product Safety Directives and New Approach Directives, providing their existing paint formulation already meets these requirements.

The GX Series can also be used in decorative paint systems where the end paint is already free from MIT, BIT and CIT biocides, but the biocide package does not conform to the requirements for Blue Angel certification.

Please note that these dispersions are not intended for use for children’s face paints, as these require specific compliance with cosmetics regulations.

GemSperse BA Series

The DCL BA series is our premier range designed to allow paint companies to maintain their compliance with the requirements of the latest and most stringent EU environmental standards, such as Blue Angel and Eco Label.

The state of the art BA series features low VOC (<1g/l) content along with a custom developed biocide package which is designed to maintain compliance with the requirements of Blue Angel and Eco Label, when used in a suitable wall paint formulation.

The BA series maintains the historical wide compatibility synonymous with all DCL GemSperse dispersions.

Please note that the BA series dispersions themselves are not Blue Angel or Eco Label compliant, as these regulations apply to the finished paint formulation and suitable testing and registration must be carried out by the paint company in order to claim compliance.
