Anti-settling agent (non-aqueous coating systems) based on Highly concentrated solution of surface-active anionic compounds (larutan pekat senyawa anionik aktif-permukaan), functioning as prevents pigment settling and agglomeration in non-aqueous paint so no hard sediment forms in solvent-based alkyd and urethane alkyd paint, low-viscosity wash primer and dipping paint, and nitrocellulose lacquer and white-spirit-based decorative paint formulations. Available in Solvent n-butanol/water; density 20°C ~1.025 g/cm³; refractive index 20°C ~1.413; pH (10% solution) 6 specification.

Brief description
Applications & benefits
Adsorption onto the pigment surface gives a uniform electrostatic charge, preventing re-agglomeration and early settling
Effective across a wide solvent polarity range, from nitrocellulose to white spirit
Can be added before or after the grinding stage
Does not interfere with gloss, flow, drying, adhesion, or water resistance of the finished paint
Available from PT Bahtera Adi Jaya's local stock, with shorter lead times than direct import.
Backed by complete technical documentation (COA, MSDS/SDS) and formulation support from our technical sales team.

Frequently asked questions
What is EFKA FA 4600 EG and what is it used for?
Anti-settling agent (non-aqueous coating systems) based on Highly concentrated solution of surface-active anionic compounds (larutan pekat senyawa anionik aktif-permukaan), functioning as prevents pigment settling and agglomeration in non-aqueous paint so no hard sediment forms in solvent-based alkyd and urethane alkyd paint, low-viscosity wash primer and dipping paint, and nitrocellulose lacquer and white-spirit-based decorative paint formulations. Available in Solvent n-butanol/water; density 20°C ~1.025 g/cm³; refractive index 20°C ~1.413; pH (10% solution) 6 specification. EFKA FA 4600 EG is supplied in Indonesia by PT Bahtera Adi Jaya.
What is the recommended dosage for EFKA FA 4600 EG in formulations?
The use level commonly referenced in the product's technical documents is 0.1–0.7% of finished paint depending on binder (alkyd 0.2–0.6%; alkyd/amino 0.1–0.4%; nitrocellulose 0.1–0.5%; wash primer 0.2–0.5%; acrylic 0.1–0.3%). The final dosage still depends on the formulation system, so small-scale trials are recommended before mass production.
Are COA, MSDS, and technical support documentation available?
Yes. Every shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS) matching the production batch. For other regulatory documents (e.g. halal certification or special specifications), please contact our sales team.
