Pigments:
Pigment Wetting: The greater organic character of diethicones allows coated pigments and fillers to disperse more readily in organic vehicles allowing either higher pigment concentration at equivalent formulation viscosities or substantially lower viscosities at equivalent pigment loadings.
Treated TiO2 in Ethylhexyl Palmitate
DE-treated pigments also improve compatibility with oils.
