- Properties
- Contains only small traces of organic solvent residues (VOC).
- Achieves viscosity stability during the storage of paints and plasters.
- This action is further boosted by the inclusion of Betolin A 11 and Sapetin D 20.
- Supports the incorporation of inorganic pigments and fillers.
- Improves the Betolin binders' stability to electrolytes.
- Promotes the improvement in adhesion of paints and plasters to the substrate.
- Improves suppression of chalking.
- Can promote the reduction of formation of stains on colored coatings.
Applications & Uses

- Mode of Action
Betolin Q 40 has an influence on the polysilicates and silicic acid micelles of potassium silicate binders. It stabilizes the polysilicate cations and thereby reduces post-thickening and strong viscosity rise of paints and plasters on storage.
- Applications
Betolin Q 40 stabilizes the silicate binders. Betolin Q 40 is added in proportions of 0.5 - 1.0 % to formulations for paints and 0.2 - 0.5 % to formulations for plasters. A further improvement in stability is obtained through the inclusion of 0.5 - 1.0 % Betolin A 11
