- Product Highlights
CLiQFLOW709 has a better solvent tolerance than pure hydrogenated castor oil based additives. It is typically applied in general industrial and heavy-duty non-aqueous paints based on mid-polar aliphatic and aromatic solvents.
CLiQFLOW709 is also used in powder coatings to improve flow and levellingduring application.CLiQFLOW 709is a finely micronized powder that requires sufficient dwell times, shear forces and a well-defined temperature for sufficient activation. The activation temperature depends strongly on thepolarity of the system.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Level of Use
CLiQFLOW709 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 60-75°C for aliphatic hydrocarbon and between 35-55°C for aromatic hydrocarbon based systems. In solvent-free epoxies an activation temperature between 65-90°C is typically required. In powder coatings CLiQFLOW709is 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 information sheet for CLiQFLOW 707 and 709)
