Special Features and Benefits
The additive prevents an increase in viscosity in air-drying and baking coatings and prevents gelling in long-term storage. BYKANOL-A inhibits skin formation in oxidative-drying systems. It prevents the thickening of acidic binders with basic pigments/fillers. If coatings have already gelled, processing viscosity can be reestablished by adding BYKANOL-A.Recommended Levels
1-2% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation to prevent gelling or skin formation.
Up to 7% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation in systems that have already thickened. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
BYKANOL-A is incorporated together with the solvents during the manufacturing process. BYKANOL-A is post-added to re-liquefy thickened systems.
