Application

OPTICRYL 3000 forms a clear, tack-free and water resistant film above the minimum film forming temperature,.
It has good light, ageing and alkali resistance.


Pigmentation / wetting agents:

OPTICRYL 3000 shows good compatibility with the generally used pigments and fillers.

In very high PVC and the use of fillers with a large specific surface, the requirement for wetting agent should be determined.Dispersing agents like in combination with polyphosphates are effective.Thickening:
For adjustment of end product viscosity and rheology addition of cellulose ethers, copolymers containing acid groups, polyurethane thickening agents and inorganic thickening agents is recommended.Film formation:
The film forming temperature can be lowered by the addition of effective solvents. High boiling solvents or diverse grades are highly active, white spirits containing aromatics (boiling point 180 – 220°C) and butyl glycol have a lesser activity and must be used in higher dosage.Defoaming:
During paint production effective defoaming is necessary.Additional Information:Packaging : in 1 MT IBC, 200Kg plastic drums.

Storage Life : 6 Months from date of production.

Storage conditions: Keep in cool and dry condition and original packaging.
