CRAYVALLAC® PA3 XAF 20

CRAYVALLAC® PA3 XAF 20 is an alcohol-free pre-activated amide wax supplied in xylene. It is a rheology modifier in paste form with high efficiency (optimum sag resistance and viscosity). CRAYVALLAC® PA3 XAF 20 is supplied in the form of crystalline fibres. In a coating system, these fibres form an interacting network. This network gives rise to the shear thinning rheology of the final coating. This shear thinning characteristic provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application.
