ANTIGEL® 6217
Multifunctional additive with good wetting and dispersing properties for solvent borne and water-based coating systems. ANTIGEL 6217 is mainly used in solvent containing systems based on alkyds, alkyd/melamine, nitrocellulose combinations and polyesters. The above mentioned properties of ANTIGEL 6217 are also suitable for coating systems based on alkyds, alkyd/acrylic and other systems.

- Key Attributes
ANTIGEL 6217 has the following properties: • Stabilization of viscosity (in oxidative drying systems) • Retardation of skinning • Improved wetting • Prevention of settlement • Reduction of dispersing time • Reworking of thickened batches • Removal of floatation phenomena • Promotion of gloss and flow
- Action Mode
The multifunctionality of ANTIGEL 6217 is based on the synergistic activity of the components. 1. Viscosity stabilization The stabilization is based on the oxygen binding properties of the antioxidant. The film is longer open and flow and through drying are promoted. 2. Wetting and dispersion The wetting component reduces the interfacial tension between the usually hydrophilic pigments and the hydrophobic binder, and a good distribution of the pigments into the system is the result. Reduction of dispersion time is possible in some cases. Floatation phenomena are reduced and gloss is increased. Sedimentation is largely avoided. Because of the excellent wetting, optimum depth of color is achieved. 3. Preparation of thickened batches Often thickened batches can be worked up by the addition of 4.0 – 6.0 % ANTIGEL 6217, calculated on solids content. It is necessary to disperse ANTIGEL 6217 thoroughly.
