Bernd Schwegmann MITTEL S

Defoamer for solvent borne coating systems, biodegradable. MITTEL S is suitable for nearly all solvent-based systems. MITTEL S is very efficient in alkyd (air drying), alkyd/polyester (heat stoving), chlorinated rubbers, epoxide, polyurethane, thermoplastic acrylic and reactive acrylics systems.

Functions: Deaerator, Defoamer

End Uses: 2K (2 component) Coating, Enamel, Epoxy Coating, Gelcoat, Solventborne Coating

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Epoxies (EP)

Features & Benefits

Key Attributes
MITTEL S decreases the surface tension and thus defoams most solvent based systems effectively. It eliminates air bubbles during manufacture and application before surface defects appears. Already small quantities of MITTEL S prevent foaming and blistering during stoving enamels or varnishes.

Use Level
0.1 - 0.5%
Processing Information
For oven stoving coating systems concentrations of 0.1 % MITTEL S are often enough to achieve the desired effects. MITTEL S has a low viscosity and can therefore be incorporated easily. It is recommended to add MITTEL S to the millbase in order to ensure best distribution. The dosage is 0.1 to 0.5 % on total formulation. The optimum amount depends on the coating system and must be determined by laboratory trials. Post addition is possible, if MITTEL S is homogeneously distributed.

Storage & Handling

Shelf Life
2 years
Storage and Handling
Stir MITTEL S up before use. Keep it in a cool, well ventilated place.Before MITTEL S is taken from the container, it is necessary to stir it up. Subject to appropriate storage, the described properties of MITTEL S remain stable for at least 2 years, provided the original container is closed after use. Occasionally, MITTEL S may contain traces of water which do not influence the product quality.
