- Dispersion Features
The dispersion process of Pangel® B42 is similar to that of other © solid components of the formulation, being necessary to ensure an appropriate product wetting and the application of a sufficient mechanical energy (shear). Equipment of the Cowles, dissolvers, Silverson types, colloidal mills, horizontal, vertical and basket grinding equipment are enough to obtain a good dispersion.
Coatings and paints 0.2 % to 1.0 %,. Inks: 0.5 % to 3.0 % Paint Strippers 0.5 % to 1.5 % Sealants and joints 0.5% to 3.0% Others 0.2 % to 3.0 %. - Key Features
Pangel® B42 is particularly recommended to provide thixotropic, suspension and anti-sagging properties to systems based on alcohol, glycol and ketone type solvents, as well as in mixtures of those with water. Pangel® B42 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® B42 has the following advantages against other conventional additives.
- Coatings and paints: prevents settling of pigments and fillers, controls sagging without modifying 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.
- Other: control of sagging and dripping; improves stability.
