Dosage
Octa-Soligen® 146 can be added to the coating at every formulation step. Previous dilution in solvent or resin is not necessary. We recommend the addition during the let-down before the addition of anti-skinning agents. The addition of Octa-Soligen® 146 depends on the type and amount of binder used. Generally speaking, the addition is between 3 and 5 %, calculated on the solid binder content. The exact amount required must always be determined by preliminary trials.
