Dosage
Our experience has shown the recommended addition rate of Borchi® Kat 0243 to be between 0.02 and 0.06 % product, calculated on solid binder. The exact amount depends on the used binder and should be determined by means of preliminary trials. Borchi® Kat 0243 can be added as supplied or solved in any suitable solvent (e.g. 10 % in xylene) to the polyol component of the coating system. The solution has to be homogenized by stirring. Borchi® Kat 0243 is also soluble in polar solvents and solvents of medium polarity. However, these solutions are only stable for a limited period of time.
