Description

SG-205 is a special additive supplied as a paste form of EVA co-polymer dispersed in solvent mixture. When used in metalized coatings formulation, SG-205 can impart excellent orientation of aluminum pigment and prevent settling of pigments. This is designed for the base coat of two coat metallic automotive coating systems.

Advantages

• Excellent orientation of aluminum particles in a metalized coatings
• Give manufacturing economics due to easy transfer and dispersion
• Can be used for almost all solvent based coating formulations
• Excellent heat stability
• Prevents pigment settling and hard-caking without significant viscosity increase

Physical Properties

• Appearance : Translucent milky white liquid
• Non-Volatiles : 4.5-5.5%
• Specific Gravity : 0.86-0.88
• Solvent : Butyl Acetate/Xylene/Mineral Spirit/n-Butyl Alcohol

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 Levels

The typical addition level will vary depending on the type of coatings formulation and required degree of aluminum orientation. In a metallic automotive coating, a typical level is 3 ~ 10% based on total formulation weight.

Storage

SG - 205 should be stored in the tighly 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 - 205 may be stored up to 6 months.

Packing

16 Kgs in tin can. 150 Kgs in drum.
