Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD AF 72 is system related, generally is between 0.1 to 0.8 % PAT-ADD AF 72 as supplied on the total weight of formulation. Appropriate compatibility conditions are required; related to system characteristics, including solvent composition. Typically, standard let-down incorporation conditions (mixer) is adequate. The optimum concentration depends on the individual requirements and conditions and is best determined experimentally.
- End Use Application
PAT-ADD AF 72 is suitable for solvent borne architectural, industrial, automotive, protective coatings and inks. The product is recommended for rapid curing systems, including plastic coatings, repair finishes, as well as printing inks and overprint varnishes.
