M-P-A 4020 X Elementis Rheology Modifier/ Thickener >> Organowax Coatings >> Solventborne General Industrial /Maintenance Metal Pigment concentrates xylene Dispersible in water M-P-A 4020 X is a highly stable, moisture-free, high efficiency, pourable antisettling agent offering the effectiveness of the M-P-A 1078 X additive in an easier to handle form. Use of M-P-A 4020 X additive in industrial finishes yields superior control of pigment settling at lower additive levels than for conventional antisettling agents. M-P-A 4020 X additive may be directly substituted on an equal solids basis for either M-P-A 60X or M-P-A 2000x. The easy transfer and dispersion offers manufacturing economies. M-P-A 4020 X additive must still be heat activated during the pigment dispersion stage. Advantages Moisture free,Highly stable, Pourable or pumpable for improved handling ,Pigment suspension at low additive levels' Reduces manufacturing time Little or no effect on apparent (package) viscosity, Low activation temperature, Fast dispersion on high speed dispersers, Suspends pigments even at spraying viscosities, preventing caking in spray pots, lines, diptanks and storage containers,Maintains excellent viscosity stability in storage, Aids application, reducing sag with good leveling Aplication M-P-A 4020 X moisture-free additive is the most effective antisettling agent for industrial solvent based coatings. It prevents the formation of a difficult-to-disperse hard packed pigment cake during coating use and storage. M-P-A 4020 X additive is a versatile, antisettling agent and may be used for industrial and trade sales coatings where the xylene carrier is suitable. Excellent results have been obtained in organic zinc rich, aluminum and other coatings containing active metals. M-P-A 4020 X additive has no effect on gassing in such systems. M-P-A® 4020 X additive contributes little to the apparent package viscosity of the coating, while providing pigment antisettling. Where a higher viscosity is desired, it is advantageous to use M-P-A 4020 X additive in combination with other RHEOX additives which are designed to increase viscosity, such as THIXATROL ST, BENTONE 27 or BENTONE 38. Sufficient THIXATROL or BENTONE rheological additive should be used to give the required viscosity. Adjust the level of M-P-A 4020 X antisettling agent until the desired degree of pigment settling control is achieved. Highly stable, moisture-free, high efficiency, pourable organic rheological additive. Used as an antisettling agent in industrial and trade sales solvent based coatings. Provides superior control of pigment settling at low additive level, little or no effect on apparent (package) viscosity, low activation temperature and fast dispersion on high speed dispersers. Suits for organic zinc rich, aluminum and other coatings containing active metals. Suspends pigments even at spraying viscosities. Can be used in combination with other rheological additive to increase viscosity. <br> Applications: exterior architectural primer, appliance and metal furniture primer and topcoat. <br> Use level: 0.6-1.6% by weight in the coating.
