Special Features and Benefits
As a result of the Newtonian flow behavior, RHEOBYK-L 1400 VF has only a negligible impact on the low shear range and improves or increases the brushability. The additive also reduces spattering during application. Greater layer thicknesses can be achieved along with an excellent balance between the flow properties and leveling. The additive is liquid and therefore easy to handle. It is not necessary to adjust the pH value or control the temperature during incorporation. When combined with rheology additives which are effective in the low shear range, such as the RHEOBYK-H series, it enables an optimum processability.Recommended Use
RHEOBYK-L 1400 VF is preferably used in emulsion paints and coatings that are based on acrylate, styrene acrylate and vinyl acetate copolymer binders as well as in PU and alkyd emulsions and epoxy dispersions.Recommended Levels
|1.0-3% additive (as supplied) based upon the total formulation, depending on the properties of the formulation to be achieved.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.Incorporation and Processing Instructions
Addition under stirring ensures optimum distribution and the best possible effectiveness and reproducibility in applications.
RHEOBYK-L 1400 VF is suitable for adding to the millbase as well as to the letdown product, or as a post additive to retroactively adjust the rheological properties.- Paper Coatings
Special Features and Benefits
In paper coatings, RHEOBYK-L 1400 VF develops a considerable Newtonian flow behavior, thus very efficiently increasing the viscosity in the high shear range. This enables the adjustment of a flat rheology profile across a broad shear range.Recommended Use
The additive is compatible with all paper coating systems and can be used in association with all application techniques.Recommended Levels
0.5-3% additive (as supplied) based upon the total formulation, depending on the properties of the formulation to be achieved.
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 to adjust viscosity after production of the coating system with low to medium shear forces (post-addition).
