Agricultural chemicals Polishing powder/polishing solution/grinding slurry Ceramic compounds Ceramic glazes Water based ink/color paste | Latex paint Casting coatings Other water-based coatings .. |
Special Characteristics and Benefits:Rheological properties
l provides thermostable aqueous phase viscosity control
limparts thixotropy
l enhances texturing and stippling effects
l improves workability/application of plasters
l promotes fast water release
l stabilises emulsions
l provides good stability in electrostatic coating baths
l prevents hard settlement of pigments/fillers
l minimises floating/flooding of pigment
Usage Instructions:
It is recommended to prepare pre gel with 2~5% solid content before adding it to the water-based formulation system.When preparing the pre gel, it is necessary to use a high shear dispersion method, with the pH controlled at 6~11, and the water used must be de ionized water (and it is better to use warm water).
Levels of use:
Typical addition levels are 0.1-1.0 % HEMINGS® F550C additive by weight of total formulation, depending upon the degree of suspension, the r heological properties or viscosity required.
Product Application:
1.Agrochemicals
2.- Polishing powder
