CRAYVALLAC® PA3 X 20 is a pre-activated amide wax supplied in a mixture of xylene and alcohols. Here are its typical characteristics and properties:
Nature: Polyamide
Appearance: Off-white paste
Solid Content: 20%
Active Content: 20%
Specific Gravity: 0.88
Solvent: Xylene and Alcohol
Description:
CRAYVALLAC® PA3 X 20 serves as a rheology modifier in paste form for post-addition to solvent-based industrial systems. It simplifies the introduction of shear-thinning rheology with thixotropic viscosity recovery to formulations.
Recommended Addition Level:
0.5-5% under low to medium shear dispersion.
Standard Packaging:
Available in 15 Kg pails. Other packaging options may be available upon request.
Handling & Storage:
Store in the original containers in a dry place at temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 30°C (86°F). Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or frost. Use within 24 months from production under these conditions.
Processing Instructions:
CRAYVALLAC® PA3 X 20 should be dispersed under low to medium shear conditions over a short time period to avoid damaging the crystalline fibers. It can be incorporated either through post addition or by preparing a master batch. For post addition, it should be added during the final stages of production when the coating has been partially thinned to a viscosity of 600-800mPas (ICI cone and plate at 10000s-1) and the peripheral speed reduced to approximately 4ms-1.
