Product Details

PARALOID™DM-55 Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin (100%) is a very efficient pigment grinding vehicle, with excellent compatibility with a wide variety of other resins including acrylics, vinyls, epoxies, and polyester. PARALOID™ DM-55 Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin is soluble in a wide range of solvents having solubility parameters in the 8.5 to 11.5 range. It also possesses good tolerance to aliphatic solvents.

PARALOID™ DM-55 Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin is supplied at 100% solids to provide a wide formulation latitude.

Benefits

  • Excellent pigment wetting characteristics - reduces grinding times and energy demand
  • Excellent compatibility with a wide variety of resins
  • Soluble in a wide range ofsolvents - Good tolerance to aliphatic solvents
  • APEO Free*
  • Formaldehyde Free**
*made without APEO-containing surfactant
**does not have added formaldehyde, or formaldehyde generators

Typical Applications

  • Grinding of difficult to disperse pigments such as carbon black, transparent iron oxide and quinacridoces. PARALOID™ DM-55 Solid Grade Thermoplastic Acrylic Resin has excellent pigment wetting characteristics reducing grinding times and energy demand during the grinding process.
  • Production of universal solventborne pigment concentrates which allows the formulator to reduce the number of pigment concentrates in his inventory. These can be used to produce a wide variety of solvent-based paints.
