- Properties
PAT-ADD LE 1477 is a highly efficient surface tension modifier for solvent systems. The product demonstrates excellent substrate wetting, preventing the formation of craters, pinholes and poor substrate coverage of coatings applied onto critical substrates such as improperly cleaned substrates and low surface energy substrates. PAT-ADD LE 1477 is suitable for solvent and solvent-free systems; furthermore, it demonstrates excellent performances in inks applied on low surface energy substrates.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD LE1477 is system and application related. PAT-ADD LE1477 is preferably added during the let-down stage of paint production. The recommended dosage is between 0.05 to 1.0% as supplied on the total weight of formulation. It is highly recommended that evaluations of performance and compatibility be made empirically, applying close-to-practice test conditions. The optimum concentration depends on the individual rformulation and conditions
- End Use Application
Recommended for solvent and solvent free wood and industrial coatings, incl. 2-pack PUR, EP, OEM, auto refinish; paints and varnishes, inks and similar application requiring surface tension reduction.
