- Applications
- DeCAL 1006 is an ideal rheological control additive for water-borne coatings. Use of DeCAL 1006 allows formulation of coatings with formulations which are easy to apply over a wide range of speeds and or processes. DeCAL 1006 is effective in the pH range optimally 6.5 - 10.0.
- Since DeCAL 1006 is a synthetically derived product it is less susceptible to microbiological attack than derivatives of cellulose. Consequently the paint formulator can substantially reduce the level of biocide leading to a broader area of application.
- Application Method
- Rheological control additives should preferably be added at the final stage of coating manufacturing, not in the pigment grinding stage as unrecoverable damage to the thixotropic rheology can occur at high shear stress. DeCAL 1006 is convenient to add as a post additive in liquid form thereby, offering flexibility in viscosity adjustment from batch to batch.
- Provided efficient mixing equipment is available DeCAL 1006 can be poured directly into the mix. However it is sometimes easier to add DeCAL 1006 by diluting it 1:1 or even 1:2 with water to avoid shocking the system.
