Good Leveling
Key Features: Pangel W is a thickener for aqueous systems, manufactured through organic modification of rheological sepiolite. It improves rheological characteristics in the range of shear forces affecting sagging and sedimentation properties, while consistency is controlled.

Pangel W offers the following properties in the water based paint formulations:

In the milling paste

Easy dispersion

Development of controlled viscosity

It enables formulation of a milling paste with a higher solids content

In the final formulation

Adequate consistency

Excellent sagging and synerisis control

Good leveling

Excellent storage performance

Good brushability

Dosage: Pangel W must be added in the dispersion stage at any moment, however best results are obtained after addition of pigments and fillers at the end of the mill-base avoiding possible interactions with dispersants and wetting agents

High shear mixing for 5 - 10 minutes must be enough for the right dispersion. In addition, it can be incorporated as a pre- gel made previously in water.

To reach fully all the benefits of Pangel W a suitable pH level in the final formulation should be around 8 - 10. The pH adjustment point will depend on the type of formulation employed.

Recommended addition rate for Pangel W can vary significantly depending on the system. Typical addition levels are 0.1 - 1% of Pangel W by weight of total formulation.
