Product Highlights

CLiQFLOW 535 provides a moderatelyshear thinning flow behavior with excellent sag/leveling balance. It furthergivesexcellent roller spatter resistance and improved film build/hidingpower to emulsion paints.The rheological additive shows excellent compatibility in a large variety of systems.

Applications & Uses

Level of Use

CLiQFLOW 535 can be added at any production stageto the coating formulation when sufficient mixing forces are available to homogenize the material.

CLiQFLOW 535 requires basic pH to develop its full structure, preferably between 8-9. The of the final system pH can be adjusted with conventional neutralizers used in the paint industry.

The optimum loading level should be determined for each system using a loading ladder study. A level between 0.1 –2.0 %on total is typically required to achieve the required rheological properties.
