Suitability and efficiency of the defoamer should be tested. In view of the many factors that may affect processing and application. because tests on our part cannot embrace the great variety of factors that may influence results during manufacture and application. Typical fillers such as chalk. neither do they imply any legally binding assurance of certain properties or of suitability for a specific purpose. 50 °C in order to ensure that the viscosity remains stable at this temperature. Manufacturers must perform their own careful tests in developing products containing Acronal® IA 734 ap. Acronal® IA 734 ap can be formulated in gloss to flat paints varying PVC levels. It is necessary to add preservatives to the finished products in order to ensure good storage stability & Antifungal/algal activity. Tinting and colour can be achieved using standard pigments used in Architectural coatings. Water-soluble polyphosphates may be included in the dispersant phase if a large amount of water is in the formulation. Plasticizers If an exceptionally flexible film is required for special applications. Areas of application The main field of application for Acronal® IA 734 ap is as a binder for exterior architectural coatings. these data do not relieve processors of the responsibility of carrying out their own tests and experiments. A commercial defoamer (0. or bentonites and polysaccharides. Processing Acronal® IA 734 ap can be made up in the usual manner with a high speed mixer. In all cases the compatibility with and effects on the performance of the coatings should be thoroughly checked. micro dolomite. Coalescents & Defoamers Lusolvan® FBH or Texanol (<5%) are preferred as well as dibutyl glycol and white spirit. e. Others Propylene glycol is suitable for increasing the wet edge time but temporarily impairs the resistance to blocking and increases the sensitivity to water. the mutual compatibility of the ingredients.
