affordable price.
Key Features
Good Hiding Power:R-2140 provides strong hiding power, ensuring excellent coverage in
paint and coating applications. This reduces the amount of pigment
needed while maintaining good visual performance, contributing to
cost efficiency.
Strong Tinting Strength:The pigment demonstrates high tinting strength, allowing for
effective color development with lower pigment loading. This
feature enhances its value proposition in cost-sensitive
applications.
Good Gloss Retention:R-2140 maintains good gloss properties in the final application,
contributing to an attractive appearance of painted surfaces.
Excellent Dispersibility:The pigment shows good dispersibility in both waterborne and
solventborne systems, simplifying the manufacturing process and
ensuring consistent product quality.
Cost-Effective Solution:With its balanced performance and competitive price point, R-2140
offers excellent value for money, making it particularly suitable
for entry-level and price-sensitive applications.
Technical Advantages
- Sulfate Process Production: Provides a cost-effective manufacturing method while maintaining
good product quality
