DISPARLON _A671-EZ（Anti-sagging / Anti-settling agent）

DISPARLON A671-EZ is a thixotropic agent based on an amide wax pre-activated in low aromatic mineral spirits.
Unlike other amide wax-based thixotropes that are usually activated in xylene, A671-EZ utilizes the high boilingsolvent for the product's higher flash point. DISPARLON A671-EZ can build up a strong thixotropic structure witha good heat stability just post-added with mild stirring. This product as well as other DISPARLON thixotropes finds
applications in a broad type of vehicles with polarity from low to medium range.

ADVANTAGES● Higher flashing● Post-added and immediate results● Easy handling

APPLICATIONS AND USAGE
Recommended for a broad range of synthetic resin-based systems, especially for medium to long
oil alkyds, mineral spirits soluble acrylics and NAD.

INCORPORATION
Additive levels : Preferable dosage level per total formulation is 2.0 ~ 6.0 wt.% for anti-sagging and 1.0 ~ 3.0wt.% for anti-settling. However, dosage level may fall out of these ranges depending on yourformulation. The optimal level should be determined by your laboratory tests.
Method: High speed dissolver is recommended.
Dispersingtemperature: Amide component may form particles if it is dissolved into a formulation and later
precipitated during dispersing process. Standard dispersing temperature is between
the room temperature and 50°C to prevent particle generation. Please be careful of thedispersing temperature because particles may occur at the upper side of the standard
temperature range mentioned above if a formulation contains large amount of polar
solvent.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Appearance: Light yellow paste

Non-volatile matter: 10% by weight

Solvent: Mineral spirits / Benzyl alcohol

Particles may occur in the paste during storage at a low temperature less than 20°C because of the crystallizationof its ingredients. In such case, please warm the vessel in a heating chamber at the temperature between 35°C
and 40°C for 24 to 48 hours just before using it.

CAUTION
Amide wax may cause low surface tension. Please make sure to check recoatability especially in alkyd melamineor oil modified alkyd baking systems.
