Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Coating Type
- Use Level
- 1.0 - 4.0%
- Application Fields
- VARIPHOB® AC 6341 is especially recommended for pigmented formulations.
- Preferred Application Fields:
- Interior paints and plasters
- Exterior paints and plasters
- Recommendation for Use
- We generally recommend adding 1.0 - 4.0 % VARIPHOB® AC 6341 in aqueous coating systems related to the total formulation.
- The optimal dosage has to be determined in pre-trials.
- In aqueous coating systems the product is added during or at the end of the production process.
- For an improved water vapor permeability we recommend a combination with VARIPHOB® AC 2552.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 12 months
- Storage Conditions
- In closed original containers at room temperature (approx. 23°C) the product will be stable for at least 12 months.
- Stir before use.
- Stability
- VARIPHOB® AC 6341 is sensitive to frost, after the impact of temperatures below the freezing point irreversible changes can occur.
- The containers must be protected from direct sun radiation and keep from temperatures higher than 30°C.
