It is recommended that VOK®-556S is mixed with aluminum slurry and added into the mixed paint system

Operation and safety

In case of drying, scaling, caking and other phenomena caused by lax sealing of wax slurry, the dried part shall be removed to avoid dispersion difficulties

Please test the compatibility with the paint system before use

Due to the high thixotropy of this product, the upper and lower viscosity may be found to be uneven during storage, which is a normal phenomenon. Before use, please mix it evenly and use the whole barrel as much as possible

This product contains solvent, so be careful to avoid contact with skin and eyes. For other information, please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet
