Features & Benefits

CASE Ingredients Features: Anti-Settling,
Excellent Stability,
High Sagging Resistance,
Highly Thixotropic,
Improved Substrate Wetting
Key Features: Pangel B40 is particularly recommended to provide thixotropic, suspension and sagging-resistance properties to systems based on alcohol, glycol an ketone type solvents, as well as in mixtures of those with water.

Pangel B40 provides a strongly pseudoplastic character, producing high consistency levels without affecting viscosity during application. It exhibits its high effectiveness as anti-settling additive in formulations with high solid contents.

Use of Pangel B40 has the following advantages against other conventional additives:

Coatings and paints: Prevents settling of pigments and fillers; controls sagging without aggravating leveling; high stability during transportation and storage.

Printing inks: Improves consistency and prevents settling of pigments.

Paint strippers: Improves stability and facilitates stripping action.

Sealants and joints: Improves wetting and suspension properties; controls sliding.

Others: Control of sagging and dripping; improves stability.
