HEUCOSIN® - Special pigment preparations have been developed by Heubach specifically for pigmenting floor coatings. They have two important application advantages over conventional preparations:
HEUCOSIN® - Special reduces the tendency of pigments to float and flood, phenomena which are particularly marked when conventional pigment blends are used because of the thickness of the films, resulting in pronounced texturing or damage to the surface.
HEUCOSIN® - Special allows the pigment to be distributed homogeneously even when using nothing more than a simple stirrer, as is usually the case on site when floor coatings are being applied.
These very specific properties of HEUCOSIN® - Special preparations are the result of a unique finish technology. A combined finishing procedure is used in what is known as mulling, which includes both mixing and grinding. The effects obtained bring about interlocking of the pigment surfaces, which prevents any separating out of the pigments surfaces, thereby preventing any separating out of the pigments and hence floating and flooding effects. This gives preparations with outstanding homogeneity which cannot be achieved simply by mixing and enables the user to create colours which are perfectly uniform with only little dispersion effort.
HEUCOSIN® - Special is suitable for the most widely available binder systems: solvent-free and water-thinnable epoxies (EP), polyurethanes (PU) and polymethyl methacrylates (PMMA).
