CRAYVALLAC® PA4 BA 20

Pre-activated amide rheology modifier supplied in butyl acetate
Product overview
CRAYVALLAC® PA4 BA 20 is a HAPs-free rheology modifier pre-activated amide wax supplied in a mixture of butyl acetate and alcohol. It is a rheology modifier in paste form with enhanced transparency, excellent anti-sagging and anti-settling properties.CRAYVALLAC® PA4 BA 20 is supplied in the form of crystalline fibres. In a coating system, these fibres form an interacting network. This network gives rise to the shear thinning rheology of the final coating. This shear thinning characteristic provides a very high viscosity under the low shear rates associated with sedimentation, and a low viscosity at the much higher application shear rates. The net result is excellent control of sedimentation combined with ease of application.
