- Processing Instructions
- CRAYVALLAC® PF is best incorporated during the pigment dispersion stage using a high-speed disperser that generates both the necessary shear and temperature.
- The increased specific surface area available thanks to its finer particles contributes to obtain the maximum rheological performance.
- For instance in aliphatic solvent based coating, this maximum performance would be obtained for a 20 – 30 minutes long dispersion at a temperature of 30 – 55 °C (86 – 131 °F).
- The activation process is the conversion of the CRAYVALLAC® PF fine particles to an interacting network of fibers.
- It is this network that gives rise to the final system’s shear thinning rheology.
- This shear-thinning behavior provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates.
- The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application.
- The viscosity recovery is controlled so that the network reestablishes itself quickly but smoothly so as to both prevent sag and achieve a good levelling.
