Use Dispersogen LFS is an anionic AP-free dispersing agent and used for water / solvent based pigment prepara-tions. Dispersogen LFS is suitable for inorganic pig-ments, carbon black and specially for organic pigments. The advantages of Dispersogen LFS are - high pigment concentration - low viscosity of the preparation - high stability of the preparation in a wide tempera-

ture range - low foaming.

General recommendation of dosage: 1 - 6 % on inorganic pigments and fillers 4 - 20 % on organic pigments.
