ADD can provide you additional assistance in determining the proper level of function needed for your system.
ADD-2523 is typically use at 0,10 % - 0,50 % wt. The optimum level within this range depends upon the severity of application conditions and composition of the product being used.
ADD-2523 is added near to the beginning of the grind and let down phase. It is not water-dispersible and should be added slowly at a point of good agitation.
ADD-2523 could be split into two parts ½ : ½ for processing defoaming and let down phase after dispersing.
ADD-2523 should be mixed well before use.
Due to various possibilities of application and different methods of processing, it is advised to check compatibility in the development of new products. Please contact us for help.
