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 primers, the protective properties are enhanced in many instances. view less Request Sample
