Teraflow® 1000

It acts as a wetting, flow and leveling agent. It is a high-performance modifier for solvent-based and high-solid systems including urethanes, alkyds, acrylics, melamine-formaldehyde, nitrocellulose, polyvinyl butyral, urea-formaldehyde, phenolic, polyesters and epoxies. Offers outstanding flow and levelling, reducing surface defects such as craters, pinholes, fisheyes and orange peel. Also offers bubble release qualities as well as contributes to pigment dispersion and color development. Due to its well-balanced surface-active capability, it provides smoother films, allowing the application of thinner formulations, and contributes to substrate wetting and recoats adhesion. Together with its novel pigment-affinic functionality, the product also allows the formulator to optimize the dispersion of almost all pigments and extenders, including such difficult-to-disperse pigments as phthalo blue, phthalo green and carbon black, in a wide variety of thermoset and thermoplastic resin systems. It has relatively easy-to-handle viscosity and good rheology profile in high-solids formulations. Recommended for pigments and coatings applications. It is added to the mill base in the range of 0.1% to 2.0% by total weight of resin solids.
