Dosage
Our experience has shown the recommended addition rate of Borchi® Kat 15 to be between 0.01 and 0.04 % product, calculated on total solid binder. The exact amount depends on the used binder and should be determined by means of preliminary trials. Borchi® Kat 15 can be added either in the supply form or diluted in any suitable solvent (e.g. butyl acetate, xylene, methoxypropylacetate) to the polyol component of the coating system. The solution has to be homogenized by stirring.
