Key Attributes: ANTIGEL KF has the following properties: • Stabilization of viscosity against air oxidation • Prevention of skinning • Improved wetting • Prevention of settlement • Reduction of dispersing time • Removal of floatation phenomena • Promotion of flow and gloss
Action Mode: The multifunctionality of ANTIGEL KF is based on the synergistic activity of the components. 1. Viscosity stabilization: The stabilization is based on the oxygen binding properties of the antioxidant. ANTIGEL KF improves flow and through-drying. 2. Wetting and dispersion: The wetting component of ANTIGEL KF reduces the interfacial tension between the usually hydrophilic pigments and the hydrophobic binder. The pigments are well distributed resulting an optimum depth of color. Dispersion time, floatation phenomena and sedimentation are reduced and gloss is increased. Sedimentation is largely avoided. Because of the excellent wetting, optimum depth of color is achieved.
