ANTI-TERRA®-203 is a solution of an alkylammonium salt of a polycarboxylic acid. This product is suitable for medium to low polar solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems. It causes an increase in thixotropy. In highly filled systems, the sagging tendency is reduced; in addition, no negative influence on the water sensitivity of the paint film has been observed. When formulated into anti-corrosion primer...view more

It causes an increase in thixotropy. In highly filled systems, the sagging tendency is reduced; in addition, no negative influence on the water sensitivity of the paint film has been observed. When formulated into anti-corrosion primers, the protective properties are enhanced in many instances. view less
BYK®-P 104 is a wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne systems. It is a solution of a lower molecular weight unsaturated polycarboxylic acid polymer. This product is suitable for medium to high polar systems and particularly effective in preventing flooding of titanium dioxide in combination with other color pigments. It is also used in amine-neutralized aqueous coatings; it is not compatible with mineral spirits. When used in anti-corrosion primer...view more

ANTI-TERRA®-204 is a solution of a polycarboxylic acid salt of polyamine amides. In comparison to ANTI-TERRA-203, ANTI-TERRA-204 can additionally be used in non-polar systems and is compatible with white spirits. The lower the polarity the more the thixotropy is increased. The preferred binders are long, medium and short oil alkyds, PVC-copolymers, chlorinated rubber and epoxy. Even in "low-filled“ systems, the sagging tendency is reduced; in addition, no negative influence on the water sensitivity of the paint film has been observed. When formulated into anticorrosion primer...view more

CLAYTONE-MPZ is a highly efficient rheology additive based on an organophilic phyllosilicate especially for medium-polarity to high-polarity systems to generate thixotropic flow behavior. Due to its special organic modification, CLAYTONE-MPZ is ideally suited to influencing the flow behavior of polar to medium-polarity coating systems. CLAYTONE-MPZ performs especially well in systems containing aromatic solvents, alcohols, glycols, ketones and esters. CLAYTONE-MPZ is the best solution particularly in epoxy systems or zinc (shop) primer...view more
