METOLAT® 600 is an additive designed to increase the water retention of paper coating colors. Due to its moderate thickening effect in combination with high water retention METOLAT® 600 is recommended for all coating colors in which the water retention should be improved without increasing the viscosity. The effect on high shear viscosity is low. Due to its properties the product is easy and accurate to dose.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Packaging

The handling of METOLAT 600 is uncomplicated. For dosage and storage plastic or metal materials are suitable. The product should be stirred before use. METOLAT 600 is not sensitive to freezing but for better handling it should be stored between 5° to 25°C. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
