Coatings and Printing Inks
Special Features and Benefits
The additive improves water repellency and anti-blocking in aqueous coatings; it also increases surface slip.Recommended Levels
1-3% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation for coatings.
2-5% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation for printing inks.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive should preferably be added to the coating at the end of the production process using a low shear rate. Mix well before use.Care Products and Polishes
Special Features and Benefits
Aquacer® 497 increases gloss and improves polishability. After polishing, the paraffin wax provides protection against abrasion and marks on the treated surface. Weather resistance is improved. The melting point of 60 °C means that Aquacer® 497 can easily be polished up using a soft terry cloth or microfiber cloth without the use of mechanical tools.
Recommended Use
Aquacer® 497 is used for maintaining and protecting coated surfaces as well as wood and metals.
Recommended Levels
1-25% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation.
A higher dosage is possible, however the polishability must be checked separately in this case. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive can be incorporated during any stage of the production process whilst stirring. In accordance with the formulation, abrasives and pigments should be used before the addition of the paraffin wax emulsion. Surface-active substances must be added at the end of the production process, as otherwise there is a tendency to foam during production.Glass fiber sizing
Special Features and Benefits
Aquacer® 497 can be used as a lubricant and for the protection of glass fibers and other fibrous reinforcing materials. The wax additive produces a lubricating effect and protects the fibers both during the fiber production and further processing of the fibers as well as in the composite formulation. The product also increases the anti-blocking properties and water resistance of the sizing formulation.
Recommended Levels
1-5% (as supplied) based on the total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal dosages are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive should preferably be incorporated at low stirring speeds. Stir until evenly distributed before use.
