SHELFLIFE/STORAGE
Incorporation | Lanco TF 1778 is very easily dispersible. It can be incorporated using normal stirrers. In very low viscosity systems high shear mixers such as dissolvers may be required. |
Addition levels
| To improve the surface properties such as slip and scratch resistance, addition of 0,5 –2,0% of Lanco TF 1778 is recommended based on total formulation weight. For matting, a combination of Lanco TF 1778 / silica can be used in a ratio of 1:1 to 1:4. The addition level of wax in this case should be 0.5-2.0% based on total formulation weight.
