EMADOX^® A4

EMADOX®A4 is mainly recommended for:

• flash-rust protection of water based formulations based on acrylic, alkyd, epoxy, polyurethane dispersions or emulsions.
• in-can protection for metal packaging filled with above products

EMADOX®A4 must be added preferentially in the letdown, before the rheological agents. The use in post-addition is also a possible option. The use levels are:

• typically, from 0.2 to 1% based on the total weight
• exceptionally, for sensitive metal substrates, 1.5 to 2% based on the total weight

There is no advantage to use higher levels. On the contrary, a too high dosage can increase the water sensitivity of the dry film.
