CLiQFLOW707 is used in general industrial and heavy-duty non-aqueous paints but also in adhesives, sealants and unsaturated polyester putties to improve the application performance of either system. If required CLiQFLOW707provides a false-body to the material to improve storage stability or workability. The hydrogenated castor oil technology is also used in powder coatings to improveflow, levellingand degassing during application.
CLiQFLOW 707 is a finely micronized powder that requires dwell times, shear forces and a well-defined temperature for activation. The required activation temperature depends strongly on the polarity of the system.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Level of Use
CLiQFLOW707 is typically used at a loading between 0.2-2.0% depending on the required thixotropy.
For optimum activation the material is added early to the manufacturing process to allow sufficient swelling. The material must then be processed within a well-defined temperature window; typically between 35-50°C for aliphatic hydrocarbon based systems and between 50-65°C for solvent-free systems. In powder coatings CLiQFLOW707 is incorporated sufficiently during the extrusion process.
The optimum activation temperature and loading level should be determined for each system using a temperature and loading ladder study. (please refer also to the technical informationsheet for CLiQFLOW 707 and 709)
