Objective: To gain knowledge on rheology additives for manufacturing Date; Friday, 2nd March 2012 Time: 9.30 a.

m- 1.30 pm Venue: Suka Conference Room, HICOM-Glenmarie Speaker: Janos Hajas ( janos.hajas@altana.com) SEMINAR ON : Rheology Additives on Coating Summary Anti settling-BYK 4011 BYK 420: additives with High shear rate, thickening, gelling BYK425: Pseudoplastic properties BYK 428: Newtonian liquid, For high Shear Anti-settling & sag control in coating: Ex. Bentonite and quaternary ammonium compound, unmodified clay 6. Factors of Sedimentation of solid particles in liquid - Temperature - Particle size - Viscosity of liquid phase - Additives - Pigment - Density Future Application; Thixotropy: to improve sag resistance (compromise anti settling). BYK 420 Application in Floorxl: Gel like structure of TC plastisol after coating so that, aggregates won t sink in. If shear rate applied after, then the structure would be back in liquid form. Technical Support Contact Mr. Lee and send plastisol sample so that he can help for air retention in TC/IC plastisol. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
