Features & Benefits
- Product Highlights
- Excellent compatibility with all alkyd resins.
- Addition of Pat-Add DA786 forms a strong water-alkyd hybrid resulting in longer stability
- Imparts high viscosity to the system thus reduces separation.
- No rusting or water separation on storage as well as on reduction.
- Since pigment binder ratio remains unchanged, no adverse effect on final performance of the applied cured film.
- No reduction of gloss or hardness.
- Cost reduction; water replacing thinner
- Properties
The use of “PAT-ADD DA786” is highly recommended for heavy pigments such as red lead, barites, iron oxides, etc. as these pigments quickly form a hard deposit which often cannot be brought back into suspension. Because of its high surface activity, PAT-ADD DA786 keeps these pigments in suspension. If slight sedimentation takes place, the soft sediment is easily stirred back into suspension without difficulty.
Due to its liquid form, the incorporation of PAT-ADD DA786 is easy. While it can be added to the paints at any stage of manufacturing, addition of PAT-ADD DA786 in the grinding stage is most effective.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Coating Type
- Dosage & Addition
- Due to the great variety of compounds used in modern coatings, it is practically impossible to give exact figures or to predict the behavior of PATADD DA786 in every formulation. After a few tests, users will easily find the exact percentage necessary for obtaining the best results. When use as emulsifier for water incorporation suggested dosages are 0.5 -1.0% on total formulation
- Shelf Life after incorporation of water:
- Systems based on soya alkyds: 6 months
- Systems based on DCO alkyds: 6 months
