ANTIGEL® KF-D

ANTIGEL® KF-D is a multifunctional additive for solvent borne and water-based coating systems, free of ketoxime and aromates, and biodegradable. It can be use in almost all common paint systems, both water based and solvent based as well. This product has the following properties: stabilisation of viscosity against air oxidation, prevention of skinning, improved wetting, prevention of settlement, reduction of dispersing time, reworking of thickened batches, removal of floatation phenomena, and promotion of flow and gloss.

The stabilisation is based on the oxygen binding properties of the antioxidant. The wetting component of ANTIGEL® KF-D reduces the interfacial tension between the usually hydrophilic pigments and the hydrophobic binder. The pigments are well distributed resulting an optimum depth of colour. Dispersion time, floatation phenomena and sedimentation are reduced and gloss is increased. Sedimentation is largely avoided. Because of the excellent wetting, optimum depth of colour is achieved.
