CLiQSMART® 129-30

1 of 17 products in this brand
CLiQSMART® 129-30 is a VOC-free humectant for aqueous and universal pigment concentrates based on a modified urea derivative. The humectant inhibits the drying of the concentrate, to prevent drying-out in tinting machines or during storage. CLiQSMART® 129-30 sufficiently replaces standard glycols in aqueous and universal pigment concentrates. It shows the minimum influence on film hardness or moisture resistance of the final paint film at normal loading levels.

Product Highlights

CLiQSMART AF gives superior performance already at low addition levels. This to a large extend also prevents the formation of surface defects typically known from the polysiloxanetechnology.

CLiQSMART AF gives excellent performance in a large variety of non-aqueous systems based on binders like acrylic or alkyd-melamine, polyurethane, epoxies or chlorinated rubber. It gives superior defoaming when applying the coating by brush, roller or airless spray.

Applications & Uses

Coating Type
Level of Use

CLiQSMART AF is best added to the binder/ solvent blend prior to the pigment grinding process. Post addition is possible when adequate shear forces are available to homogenize the material successfully to avoid potential side effects from the polysiloxane-based defoamer.

CLiQSMART AF is typicallyadded at con-centration between 0.05 –0.8% as delivered on total formulation.The optimum loading level should be determined for each system using a loading ladder study.
