Wetting and Dispersing Additives

In modern coating and ink formulations, achieving stable pigment dispersion, optimized color development, and long-term storage stability is critical. Whether in high-performance decorative paints, industrial primers, or printing inks, the choice of dispersing and wetting additives directly impacts gloss, flow, opacity, and processing efficiency.

Chemanova Wetting and Dispersing Additives Series has been specifically engineered to meet the diverse challenges faced in water-based and solvent-based systems across Southeast Asia’s climate and market needs.

Water-Based Solutions: Nova DA101 & Nova DA102

Our waterborne dispersant range provides a smart combination of amine-based buffering, surface wetting, and pigment stabilization—suitable for acrylic emulsions, styrene-acrylics, vinyl systems, and inorganic pigment slurries.

Nova DA101 acts as a multifunctional co-dispersant and pH stabilizer, reducing ammonia use and improving in-can stability.
Nova DA102 offers excellent inorganic pigment dispersion, including TiO₂ and extenders, with anti-sag behavior ideal for basecoats, primers, and bentonite pastes.

Solvent-Based Solutions: Nova DA201 – DA208

Our solvent-based dispersants are designed for high-solids, high-pigment-load, and fast-drying systems. They enable superior pigment anchoring, color strength, and anti-settling behavior.

Nova DA201 is a fast-acting dispersant with excellent flow in PU, NC, and alkyd coatings.
Nova DA202 is optimized for TiO₂ and oxide-rich primers with low-viscosity behavior.
Nova DA203 delivers high performance in universal pigment pastes and anticorrosive applications.
Nova DA204 is a top-tier dispersant for black, organic, and universal pigment systems with high gloss and anchoring strength.
Nova DA205 is an epoxy dispersant booster for TiO₂ and inorganics, delivering strong wetting, opacity, and long-term stability in epoxy and polyamide coatings.
Nova DA206 is a high-strength dispersant for carbon black and organics in epoxy, achieving jetness, gloss, and storage stability at high pigment loading.
Nova DA207 is a universal dispersant booster for solvent-based epoxy systems, enhancing multi-pigment stability, gloss, and color uniformity across formulations.
Nova DA208 is a high-performance dispersing additive for solvent-based systems, delivering exceptional jetness, color strength, and long-term stability for carbon-black and organic pigments.

Each product in this series is built for flexibility, formulation efficiency, and compatibility with local raw materials—helping manufacturers in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia optimize both cost and performance.
