Anti-Terra-202

1 of 8 products in this brand
Anti-Terra-202 is a controlled flocculating wetting and dispersing additive designed for solvent-borne, medium-polar to low-polar thick layer systems and primers. It prevents the settling of fillers and inorganic pigments and facilitates the gelling of bentonites. It offers features like floating resistance, anti-settling, flooding resistance, and high sagging resistance. It functions as both a wetting agent and dispersant in solventborne and solventless coatings. The product complies with various regulatory standards, including TSCA, Clean Air Act, and DSL.

Key Features
  • The additive derives its benefits from the systematic, controlled flocculation of pigments. This also prevents sagging and keeps the pigments from settling as well as flooding and floating. Anti-Terra-202 is suitable for medium-polar to low-polar solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems and significantly increases thixotropy. It can often improve anticorrosive properties when used in protective coating primers. Anti-Terra-204 is a very similar product, which is also suitable for non-polar systems.

Compatibility
  • Solution of an alkylammonium salt of a polycarboxylic acid
Note
  • Discolorations may occur in coatings based on cellulose nitrate, chlorinated rubber, and PVC copolymers. Silicate coatings have a shortened pot life. High levels may affect pot life and curing in epoxy systems. The additive's high amine value can lead to increased viscosity in the epoxy resin.

Technical Details & Test Data

Processing Instructions
  • For optimum performance, the additive must be incorporated into the millbase before addition of pigments. The following suggested formulation can be used to gel bentonites:
  • 85-87 parts (by weight) solvent
  • 10 parts (by weight) betonites
  • 5-3 parts (by weight) additive
  • The solvent must either be an aromatic or white spirit with aromatics. If the gelling effect is not sufficient, polar solvents may be added to increase it.

Storage & Handling

Storage Information
  • Separation or turbidity may occur at temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F). Warm to 20 °C (68 °F) and mix well.
