Overview
This product features a complex structure and is a modified phosphate ester titanium coupling agent. In addition to its excellent dispersibility for pigments, it has a unique effect: it can revive gelled coatings or inks, reduce swelling of swollen paint pastes, and restore viscosity. It is one of the better additives in the domestic coating industry.
