Dosage

The recommended dosage is 0.1 % to 0.5 % of the total weight of the formulation depending upon the binder system and which property is being addressed. The exact dosage should be experimentally determined. Borchi® Gol LA 6 is easy to use and can be added at any stage of the formulation; however, for best results we recommend adding it at the end of the formula. Higher amounts may be needed in pigmented systems.

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.
