FAQ About RT151
We recommend add RT151 during the paint mixing or let-down stage to ensure best surface performance and compatibility.
RT151 is designed with good recoating properties at proper dosage, it has minimal impact on intercoat adhesion. Testing is necessary for multi-layer systems.
RT151 should be evaluated with binders, dispersants, and other surface additives to ensure balanced performance in terms of wetting, leveling, and stability.
RT151 shows good compatibility in water-based systems and partial compatibility in solvent-based systems, mainly depending on formulation design.
RT151 contributes to improving leveling and film smoothness by reducing surface tension and enhancing flow.
Although RT151 shows good formulation tolerance, You’d better verify in systems with extreme pH or high electrolyte content.
RT151 is suitable for clear and high-gloss systems, but you should avoid surface over-modification caused by over dosages.
