Features

  • Develops viscosity stability and improves rheological
    properties mainly in the lower shear range
  • Enables application of thick layers on vertical surfaces
  • Effectively prevents sagging
  • Does not yellow or cause chalking in the cured film
  • APEO-free
  • Tin-free
  • Butyl glycol-free

Applications

  • Spray coatings
    • Industrial
    • Architectural
    • Automotive
  • Brush and roll coatings when used with Newtonian thickener

Dosage

  • 0.5 – 1.0% on total paint formulation

The best incorporation method is to add it after the pigment/filler dispersion stage but prior to being let down. Under low shear mixing conditions, a pre-dilution in water or a mixture of water/propylene glycol may be necessary for complete incorporation. The exact dosage should be experimentally determined.

Storage

Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °C. Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product. Transport or storage may cause a foam on the surface or a slight phase shift. A homogenization of the product is necessary to recover a normal aspect before use without a negative impact on the effectiveness of the product.
