- Application Use Levels
CLiQSMART AF is best added to the binder/ solvent blend prior to the pigment grinding process. Post addition is possible when adequate shear forces are available to homogenize the material successfully to avoid potential side effects from the polysiloxane-based defoamer.. CLiQSMART AF istypicallyadded at con-centration between 0.05 –0.8% as delivered on total formulation.The optimum loading level should be determined for each system using a loading ladder study.

- HIGHLIGHTS
CLiQSMART AF gives superior performance already at low addition levels. This to a large extend also prevents the formation of surface defects typically known from the polysiloxanetechnology.. CLiQSMART AF gives excellent performance in a large variety of non-aqueous systems based on binders like acrylic or alkyd-melamine, polyurethane, epoxies or chlorinated rubber. It gives superior defoaming when applying the coating by brush, roller or airless spray.
