Application field

Coating industry

Product features and advantages

VOK®- AL WX produces thixotropic flow behavior. Because of its good effect in preventing solid sedimentation, the processability and storage stability are improved. In addition, higher coating thickness can be obtained by reducing sagging tendency after construction. VOK®- AL WX is an inorganic substance, which is stable to dilute acid and alkali.

Recommended use

VOK®- AL WX is applicable to various water-based systems. Suitable for paints with neutral, acidic and alkaline pH.

Architectural coatings

Wood and furniture coatings

The recommended dosage is 0.3-2.0% (purchased form), which is based on the general formula and depends on the required performance of the formula.

The above recommended dosage is for reference, and good dosage shall be determined through a series of tests.

Adding method and processing guidance

VOK®- AL WX is hydrophilic and easy to add to water. To ensure good distribution, efficiency and reproducibility in application, the additive must be slowly added to water (20 ℃± 5 ℃) under stirring, and pre dispersed at high shear force for at least 20 minutes. VOK ®- AL WX should be fully hydrated before the remaining formulation components are added to the dispersion. No wetting or dispersing aids are required for the production of dispersions.

Construction industry

Product features and advantages

In a free flow system, VOK ®- AL WX prevents sedimentation and dehydration shrinkage tendency of agglomerates. In the high solid building system, it can achieve smooth processability and improve the sagging resistance.

Recommended use

VOK®- AL WX

It is applicable to mineral based ready mixed mortar.

Recommended dosage

The dosage of 0.05-0.5% additives (purchased form) is based on the total formula and depends on the required performance of the formula.

The above recommended dosage is for reference, and good dosage shall be determined through a series of tests.

Adding method and processing guidance

VOK®- AL WX is hydrophilic and can be added to the dry mix mortar formula.

Detergents, detergents and curing products

Product features and advantages

VOK®- AL WX is a rheological agent that produces thixotropic flow behavior. It can be widely used in water-based systems to prevent the sedimentation of abrasives and other particles without excessive thickening. Including  The cleaning products of VOK®-AL WX are easy to use and can be sprayed. The use of the additive improves the adhesion with the vertical surface, and improves the cleaning effect due to longer exposure time. VOK®- AL WX is stable to acids and alkalis with pH values ranging from 2-13. It has good electrolyte resistance to sodium salt and surfactant.

Recommended use

VOK®- AL WX is particularly suitable for water-based cleaning and curing products with a pH range of 2-13.

Automobile cleaning and maintenance products

Living room cleaning products

Kitchen cleaning products

Wet room cleaning products

Detergent

Recommended dosage

The dosage of 0.5-2.0% additives (purchased form) is based on the total formula and depends on the required performance of the formula.

The above recommended dosage is for reference, and good dosage shall be determined through a series of tests.

Adding method and processing guidance

VO ®- AL WX is hydrophilic and easy to add to water. In order to ensure good distribution, best efficiency and reproducibility in application, the additive must be slowly added to water (20 ℃± 5 ℃) under stirring, and pre dispersed at high shear force for at least 20 minutes. In order to achieve good dosage, The concentration of VOK ®- AL WX in the premix shall be 3-5%. The remaining formula components shall be fully hydrated before being added to the dispersion. No wetting or dispersing aids are required for the production of dispersions.

Special precautions

In addition to the rheological demand curve, the physical properties (color, transparency, etc.) and compatibility with the chemical environment of detergents and detergents also determine the selection of the most appropriate rheological additives

Construction industry

Product features and advantages

VOK®- AL WX is a multi-purpose and ultra pure rheological additive used to produce thixotropic flow behavior in water-based formulations.

Recommended use

VOK®- AL WX is especially suitable for water-based crop protection formula, based on lotion and lotion concentrated slurry, as well as suspension/suspension concentrated slurry and water dispersed particles.

Recommended dosage

0.05-1. 5% dosage of additives (purchased form) is based on the total formula and depends on the required performance of the formula.

The above recommended dosage is for reference, and good dosage shall be determined through a series of tests.

Adding method and processing guidance

VOK - AL WX is hydrophilic and easy to add to water. To ensure good distribution, best efficiency and reproducibility in the application, the additive must be slowly added to the water (20 ° C ± 5 ° C) under stirring and pre dispersed at high shear for at least 20 minutes. In order to achieve good dosage, The concentration of VOK ®- AL WX in the premix shall be 5-7%. The remaining formula components shall be fully hydrated before being added to the dispersion. No wetting or dispersing aids are required for the production of dispersions.

Adhesives and Sealants

Product features and advantages

VOK®- AL WX produces thixotropic flow behavior in adhesives and sealants. Because it is very effective in preventing solid sedimentation, it improves processability and storage stability.
