Special Features and Benefits:-
The additive acts by controlled fl occulating the pigments. This also prevents sagging and keeps the pigments from settling as well as fl ooding and fl oating. ANTI-TERRA-204 is also suitable for non-polar systems (white spirit compatible), in contrast to ANTI-TERRA-203. The lower the polarity, the stronger the thixotropic effect will be. Long, middle, and short oil alkyds, PVC copolymers, chlorinated rubber and epoxies are the preferred binders. It can often improve anticorrosive properties when used in protective coating primers.
Recommended Use -
Especially recommended applications: Industrial coatings, wood and furniture coatings, protective coatings. Recommended application: Architectural coatings.
Recommended Levels - Amount of additive (as supplied) based upon pigment:
- Inorganic pigments: 1-2 %
- Titanium dioxide/Fillers: 0.5-1 %
- Bentonites: 30-50 %
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing - Instructions For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of pigments. It is also suitable for retroactive batch correction, however, for this application the performance is somewhat lower. The following suggested formulation can be used to gel bentonites:
- 85-87 parts (by weight) solvents
- 10 parts (by weight) bentonites
- 5-3 parts (by weight) additive
The solvent can be aromatic or aromatic white spirit, although aromatic-free white spirit is also suitable. If the gelling effect is not suffi cient, polar solvents may be added to increase it.
Special Note -
- Discolorations may occur in coatings based on cellulose nitrate, chlorinated rubber, and PVC copolymers.
- Silicate coatings have a shortened pot life.
- High levels may affect pot life and curing in epoxy systems.
- The additive's high amine value can lead to increased viscosity in the epoxy resin.
- SMC - BMC - Pultrusion
Special Features and Benefits - The additive derives its benefi ts from the systematic, controlled fl occulation of fi llers, which primarily prevents the fi llers from settling.
Recommended Use - Especially recommended applications: Pultrusion. In this application, the additive is functional in all resin systems, including UP, VE, acrylic and epoxy.
Recommended Levels- 0.5-1.5 % additive (as supplied) based upon fi llers. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions - For optimal performance, the additive should be incorporated before solids are added.
