  Typical materialized data  

The data given on this data sheet are only typical values, not the technical specifications of the product.

 storage and transportation

This product is temperature sensitive. Store and transport below 35°C and mix well before use.

  special reminder  

Graining test method: Disperse the wax additive at 4 m/s for 5 minutes, then add 20% butyl acetate, keep stirring at 4 m/s for 2 minutes, use a 100 um film applicator
Scraper on a glass plate. The coating should be clear and free of particles during drying.

Fineness test method: scraper fineness meter, ISO1524. Disperse the wax additive at 4 m/s for 5 minutes, test with a 50um scraper fineness meter, fineness: 15um.

Application field

paint industry

Features and advantages: The additive can improve the directional arrangement of effect pigments such as aluminum powder and pearlescent powder, and improve the effect of different light and different colors; reduce short-wave defects (spotting, Bernard vortex), and improve the performance of the next overcoat varnish. Leveling; prevent settling in the tank.

Recommended use

CERAFAK 103 is recommended for solvent-borne basecoats and single-coat automotive metallic topcoats.

Recommended dosage

50% additive dosage (as purchased) is based on solid resin.

The above recommended dosage is for reference, and the optimal dosage needs to be determined through a series of tests

Joining method and processing guidance

The wax additive was uniformly dispersed at 4 m/s, and the resin solution was added under stirring. In the system containing CAB, the CAB solution should be uniformly dispersed with the resin solution at high speed (> 5 m/s), and then the stirred wax slurry should be added. Pigment paste and solvent should be added with stirring.
