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

It contains multiple active groups which attach to fumed silica particles and stabilize the existing network. This controlled flocculation effect prevents the fumed silica particles settling in the resin. The side effects are increased thixotropy and improved sag resistance. The typical “stir-before-use” procedure is no longer necessary. The additive guarantees safe handling and improved storage stability of the laminating resin. ANTI-TERRA®-210 has no impact on curing properties. view less Request Sample
