Features of DELTA DC® 3740:
DELTA DC® 3740 is a water-based dispersion control additive.
DELTA DC® 3740 contains approximately 43% active ingredients.
DELTA DC® 3740 has ammonium polyacrylate as its chemical type.

Chemical Properties of DELTA DC® 3740:
DELTA DC® 3740 is based on ammonium polyacrylate, an anionic polyelectrolyte derived from polyacrylic acid.
The ammonium polyacrylate in DELTA DC® 3740 dissociates in water into a polyanion and ammonium ions, and the negative charges on the polymer chain adsorb onto pigment surfaces and keep the particles apart.
The ammonium polyacrylate in DELTA DC® 3740 may lose dispersing efficiency in strong acids or in the presence of polyvalent cations such as calcium or iron.
DELTA DC® 3740 may release ammonia when heated.
