Description
BK-PA80 is a rheology additive composed of a polyamide and an amide wax for waterborne system. A needle-like structure is formed by itself in a coating system, as a result it prevents settling and hard caking. Unlike traditional waterborne thickening agents, BK-PA80 can provide high thixotropic property without excess viscosity increasing. BK-PA80 can improve thermos stability of the coating solution.

Advantages
☆Excellent thixotropy, anti-sagging and anti-settling properties.
☆Easy incorporation.
☆Imparts high thixtropic property without excess viscosity increasing.
☆Excellent thermo stability
Applications
BK-PA80 can be used in a wide range of waterborne coating systems.
Incorporation
1. Can be added at any stage. Post-addition at a final stage by a dissolver is recommended.
2. Dispersing temperature is recommended between room temperature and 40℃.
3. Additive level is 2.0-8.0 weight% as product on total formulation.
Storage
1. Keep from freezing. Freezing causes degradation of quality and performance.
2. Do not heat. Store below 40℃. Heating causes degradation of quality and performance.
