PAT-ADD RU 02

PAT-ADD RU 02 is used as a liquid corrosion inhibitor in waterborne paints. It also acts as oxygen scavenger. It is used to inhibit in-can corrosion, flash-rusting and exposed dry paint. Shelf life: 12 months.Benefits:Combats corrosion formation on iron substrates at various stagesPrevents flash rusting and formation of rust spots during film formationIt also prevents in-can rust formation and minimizes paint discoloration caused by rust particle contaminationIt is easily workable and liquid additiveSupports permanent film corrosion inhibitionShows strong interaction onto iron surfaces, thus passivating the surface from oxidationInhibits rusting by formation of an anionic passivated layer and reducing oxygen concentration in liquid paintIt is typically used in conjunction with permanent corrosion inhibitive pigments for corrosion protective coatingsTypical Applications:Designed for use in a wide range of waterborne architectural, protective, marine, wood and industrial paints. It is suitable for WB dispersion-, epoxy- and PE- paint systems.

PAT-ADD RHEOL 112

PAT-ADD RHEOL 112 is a rheology modifier suitable for aqueous systems. Shelf life: 24 months.Benefits:Develops KU and high low-shear viscosity with a strong shear thinning rheologyInteracts with polymeric binder particles which result in formation of a network, characterized by showing a high degree of pseudoplastic flowHas optimized brush/ roller loading and anti-drip propertiesProvides excellent in-can structure and flow performanceIt is ready for use, VOC-free and easily workableMay be used  in conjunction with Pat-Add RHEOL 306 for high shear balanceReduces risk of roller spattering during application Forms a pseudoplastic profile which enables high layer thickness, while maintaining ease of applicationTypical Applications:Designed for low up to high PVC dispersion paints. Recommended for water-based emulsion paints for interior and exterior applications for flat and semi-gloss formulations. It can also be used in high-build architectural coatings.
