Storage & Handling
- Processing Guidelines
- WetGrip ET Additive should be added as the last ingredient in the formulation at 7-10% by weight of polymer or 3-5% by total formula weight.
- ET Additive is extremely reactive and will cause a temporary and significant rise in viscosity in the batch as it is being added. Care should be taken to make sure mixing equipment is capable.
- Extremely Moisture sensitive material, keep stored in sealed containers and practice good handling procedures for silanes.
