Use Level

0.5 - 1.5 ( Silcone resin paint/plaster)%, 1.0 - 3.0 (Acrylic paint/plaster)%, 1.0 - 3.0 (Silicate paint/plaster)%, 2.0 - 4.0 (Beading paint/plaster)%

Product Applications

• ACCESS® B-LS is added during production operations as an additive to aqueous coating systems.
• ACCESS® B-LS is especially suitable for producing masonry paints or plasters with strong water beading effects.
• Water drops can have a contact angle of more than 145°. To achieve the beading effect desired, raw materials which do not affect the hydrophobic properties have to be used for formulating the coating.
