Properties

PAT-ADD FL 7 is a very efficient film surface tension modifier. The mechanism is by migration of PAT-ADD FL 7 to the applied film surface. This migration produces the following benefits:. PAT-ADD FL 7 demonstrates high efficiency, minimizing risk of orange peel, craters, pinholes, Bénard cells and poor substrate coverage.PAT-ADD FL 7 demonstrates high efficiency, minimizing risk of orange peel, craters, pinholes, Bénard cells and poor substrate coverage.

Addition and Dosage

The product is best added during the let-down stage of paint manufacturing process. PAT-ADD FL 7 is typically used at a dosage between 0.4 to 2.0%. on the total weight of paint: It is highly recommended to evaluate performance and compatibility empirically, applying close-to-practice test conditions. The optimum concentration used depends on the individual formulation and conditions.

HIGHLIGHTS

Highly effective flow and leveling agent; Reduced risk of orange peel, craters, pin-holes, and film waviness; Enables the formation of smooth film surface with high distinctness of image (DOI); High transparency in lacquers and clears

End Use Applications
