How To Choose Anti-settling Aids For Ship Paint

When choosing anti-settling aids for ship paint, the following aspects can be considered:

Thixotropic properties: high-quality anti-settling aids should have good and lasting thixotropy, which helps to form a strong network structure in the paint system, thereby providing anti-sagging and anti-settling effects.

Activation state: Some anti-settling aids have been effectively activated by solvents and do not require additional heating activation treatment. They can be added to the coating system by simple stirring and dispersion. This activation state can save production time and cost.

Stability: Selecting anti-settling aids with no coarse particles, particles, and excellent stability can ensure its uniform dispersion and long-term stability in the coating system.

Compatibility: The anti-settling aid should be compatible with the resin and solvent system used to ensure its effectiveness and stability in the coating system.

Environmental protection: Consider choosing anti-settling aids that meet environmental protection requirements to reduce the impact on the environment and human health.

Tianshi anti-settling polyamide wax micropowder is a high-performance anti-settling aid, mainly used in powder coatings and other coating systems to prevent the precipitation of solid particles such as pigments and fillers.
Main functions:

Synergistic anti-settling effect: Tianshi anti-settling wax powder has a synergistic anti-settling effect, which can effectively prevent the precipitation of pigments and fillers such as silica matting powder. When used in combination with silica matting powder, the ratio of the two is generally between 1:1 and 1:4.

Increase hardness and wear resistance: In powder coatings, Tianshi anti-settling wax powder can increase the hardness and wear resistance of the coating and improve the scratch resistance of the coating.

Auxiliary matting: In addition to the anti-settling effect, Tianshi anti-settling wax powder can also play an auxiliary matting role in powder coatings to improve the appearance of the coating.

Improve anti-adhesion: Under high temperature conditions, Tianshi anti-settling wax powder can improve the anti-adhesion of the coating and prevent adhesion between coatings.
