Description

SG-215 is a special additive supplied as a paste form of EVA co-polymer dispersed in solvent mixture. When used for coatings including metallic pigments, SG-215 can impart excellent orientation and prevent settling of metallic pigments. This is designed for the base coat of two coat metallic automotive coating systems and industrial coatings including metallic pigments.

Advantages

• Excellent orientation of aluminum particles
• Can be used for almost all solvent-based coating formulations
• Improved slip and mar resistance
• Excellent heat stability
• Prevents pigment settling and hard-caking without significant viscosity increase

Physical Properties

• Apperance : Translucent white paste
• Non-Volatiles : 14 ~ 16%
• Specific Gravity : 0.87 ~ 0.89
• Solvent : Butyl Acetate/ Xylene

Incorporation

Rapid dispersion can be achieved with high speed dissolver. It should be added during the dispersion stage, preferably pre-mixed in vehicle before the addition of other mill base components

Recommended Level

The typical addition level will vary depending on the type of coating formulations and required degree of aluminum orientation. In a metallic automotive coatings, a typical level is 2~6% based on total formulation weight.

Storage

SG-215 should be stored in the tightly closed original container in a cool and dry place at 5 ~ 30°C. Avoid exposure to heat source and direct sunlight. Under recommended storage condition, SG-215 may be stored up to 6 months.

Packaging

16 Kgs in tin can, 175 Kgs in drum.
