Mode of Action

The multifunctionality of ANTIGEL 6217 is based on the synergistic activity of the components.
 
1. Viscosity stabilization
The stabilization is based on the oxygen binding properties of the antioxidant. The film is longer open and flow and through drying are promoted.
 
2. Wetting and dispersion
The wetting component reduces the interfacial tension between the usually hydrophilic pigments and the hydrophobic binder, and a good distribution of the pigments into the system is the result. Reduction of dispersion time is possible in some cases. Floatation phenomena are reduced and gloss is increased. Sedimentation is largely avoided. Because of the excellent wetting, optimum depth of color is achieved.
 
3. Preparation of thickened batches
Often thickened batches can be worked up by the addition of 4.0 – 6.0 % ANTIGEL 6217, calculated on solids content. It is necessary to disperse ANTIGEL 6217 thoroughly.

Processing Information

ANTIGEL 6217 should be added to the millbase in order to get optimum use of its wetting properties. It is recommended to establish through preliminary experiment the optimum dosage. An addition of 0.5 - 1.5 % calculated on total formulation is common. 4.0 - 6.0 % calculated on the solids content is used when reworking thickened batches.

Storage and Handling

Keep ANTIGEL 6217 in a cool, well-ventilated place. Occasionally, slight sediment is formed. There is no need to stir up the sediment. ANTIGEL 6217 contains a natural raw material, which can lead to variations of the color tone. In both cases the quality is not adversely affected.Subject to appropriate storage, the described properties ofANTIGEL 6217 remain stable for at least 2 years, provided the original container is closed after use.
