Question 1

How is PAW-10 incorporated into solventborne alkyd or epoxy coatings?

Accepted Answer

PAW-10 is a pregelled dispersion and can be added directly under moderate stirring (500–800 rpm) at room temperature. For optimal thixotropy development, allow 30 minutes of rest after incorporation before measuring sag resistance.

Question 2

What is the recommended dosage of PAW-10 for anti-sag performance?

Accepted Answer

Typical addition levels are 0.5–2.0% on total formulation weight. Start at 0.8% for medium-build industrial coatings and adjust upward for high-build or high-pigment-volume systems.

Question 3

Can PAW-10 be combined with fumed silica or organoclay for synergistic effects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A 1:1 blend of PAW-10 with fumed silica (e.g., 0.5% each) commonly produces stronger thixotropy than either additive alone, particularly beneficial in high-solids automotive primer-surfacers.
