Pigment Dispersions for Polyurea Coatings
The Colormatch® AD Series colorants have been designed
for broad use in industrial coatings. These products have
been formulated to provide a colorant system specifically
designed for polyurea coatings that allows the coatings
formulator the ability to tint or fully pigment polyurea
bases.
Key Benefits
The AD Series pigment dispersions for polyurea coatings
applications consist of organic and inorganic colorants
dispersed in an amine carrier. The carrier vehicle has been
chosen for its excellent compatibility with polyurea coatings
systems.
The AD Series colorants are based on a JEFFAMINE®*
D2000. The carrier is a polyoxy propylene diamine resin that
is a difunctional, primary amine having an average molecular
weight of approximately 2000. The amine groups are located
on the secondary carbon atoms at the ends of an aliphatic
polyether chain.
The colorants utilize prime pigment and are formulated to
ensure excellent color control. The pigments used in this
line have good lightfastness and acid and alkali resistance.

not all, countries.
Applications
The AD Series is formulated for use in polyurea industrial
coatings including, but not limited to, concrete protection,
general industrial, industrial maintenance, marine, plastic,
and other protective coatings.
CONCRETE PROTECTION
Properties
The dispersing resin in the AD Series is a low viscosity resin
that performs well as a dispersing and stabilizing resin due
to its molecular weight. The resin will react with ambient
moisture. So, exposure to moisture should be minimized
during handling and storage.
Tint strength specifications are ± 5% of the standard. Color
specifications vary by product and are based on the color
space.
Compatibility
The AD Series colorants are compatible with many coating
systems based on epoxy, polyamide, polyaspartic, and
polyurea systems. This line is also miscible with many
solvents including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons,
alcohols, esters, glycol ethers, ketones, and reactive diluents.
They are insoluble in water.
Shelf Life
Proper handling is essential to maintain good quality. It
is recommended that the colorants be mixed prior to use.
Containers should be tightly sealed when not in use. A dry
nitrogen blanket is recommended for longer storage times.
Repacking the colorant into a smaller container should be
considered if the colorant level in the container is less than
20% of the original amount and will be stored for a extended
period of time.
Shelf life on the AD Series colorants is 2 year from the date
of manufacture in unopened containers.
