2026-09-24 03:28:03 Literature

1. Introduction

Waterborne colorants by DENSON are applied across architectural, wood and anti-corrosion coatings. This paper presents 3 application cases with real production data.

2. Technical Features

Waterborne colorant is a pre-dispersed pigment in water with polymeric dispersant, defoamer and anti-freeze, designed for tinting low-VOC coatings under GB 38508.

3. Case 1: Architectural Latex

For interior latex, WT series delivers washability ≥3500 cycles (GB/T 9266), with no flocculation after 6 months storage.

ParameterResultStandard
Washability≥3500 cyclesGB/T 9266
Fineness≤15 μmGB/T 1724
VOC≤80 g/LGB 38508

4. Case 2: Wood Coatings

Waterborne wood coatings require D50≤0.15 μm and transparency ≥92%. WT nano-series passes this test.

5. Case 3: Anti-corrosion

7. Conclusion

WT waterborne colorant delivers stable performance across architectural, wood and anti-corrosion applications.

8. FAQ

Q1: Can waterborne colorant be used in exterior wall?
A: Yes, choose WT outdoor series with QUV resistance ≥1000 h.

Q2: How much colorant is typically added?
A: 2%-5% by weight of base coating, depending on depth of shade.

Q3: Does it affect drying time?
A: No, properly formulated waterborne colorant does not alter recoat time.

Q4: What is shelf life?
A: 12 months sealed at 5-35°C.
