- Incorporation
COAG-40 is supplied as a soft gel and may be added either at the compounding or the post-addition stage of the formulation, using normal stirrers or mixers.
Formulations containing COAG-40 should be optimized to obtain best sag control and flow. In many cases this requires removal of some plasticizer from the formulation.
- Addition Levels
COAG-40 should be used at between 0.5 and 2 percent on total formulation weight.
