Pat-Add AF 34

Knowde Enhanced TDS

Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

Labeling Claims: Low VOC,
Other Labeling Claims
CASE Ingredients Features: Long Shelf Life
Properties: PAT-ADD AF 34 is dispersible in aqueous systems and can be incorporated (depending on dispersion power characteristics of the applied system) by applying mild to high shear dispersion forces. PAT-ADD AF 34 is most suitable for use in dispersion paints and industrial paint systems; furthermore for flexo inks as well as for use in pigment dispersions.
Benefits: Oil-free

Reduces risk of micro-foaming

Requires only low dosages; does not contribute to VOC

Clear liquid, showing excellent shelf stability

Application: Most suitable for flexo inks as well as for use in pigment dispersions.Incorporated with medium to high shear dispersion forces.
Dosage & Addition: The optimal amount of PAT-ADD AF 34 to be used is system related, but generally is between 0,08 and 0,8 % PAT-ADD AF 34, calculated on the total weight of formulation.Proper incorporation by mild to high shear mixing is prefered, in order to ensure proper distribution and minimize risk of film defects. For pigment dispersions, dosages up to 1 % may be required. It is recommended to add part of the required dosage prior to pigment grinding and the remaining part to the mill-base before the let-down step of paint manufacturing. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions and is best determined experimentally.
