Recommended dosage

0.3-1% auxiliary dosage (supply form) is based on the general formula.

The above recommended dosage is for reference, and the appropriate dosage shall be determined through a series of tests.

Adding method and processing guidance

In the paint, the additive is best added to the abrasive. When used in the process of varnish or paint mixing, the shear force must be high enough to ensure good addition, so as to prevent shrinkage.

Special precautions

In order to improve leveling and surface performance, it is recommended to contact VOK ®- 348 and AQUACER 539 are used together to obtain good substrate wettability and good adhesion resistance.
