Product Highlights

CLiQFLOW 781 provides excellent anti-settling properties to filled systems, upon storage a structure is formed which stabilizespigments and fillers. The rheological additive further provides an excellent sag-levellingbalance and reduces spray pattern and orange peel of the finished coating.

CLiQFLOW 781 canbe usedas single thickener for storage stability and sag-resistance or can be combined with other thickener technologiesto fine-tune the rheological behavior of the final system.

Applications & Uses

Application Method
Coating Type
Level of Use

CLiQFLOW 781 can be added to the manufacturing process at any stage. It only requires sufficient agitation and homogenisation for full activation. Due to its low viscosity is does not require a pre-dilution step. A co-solvent in the formulation may improve efficiency of the additive.A loading between 0.20–2.0% is typically sufficient to achieve the required properties. A loading ladder study is suggested to determine the optimum loading level.
