M-P-A^® 4020 X

M-P-A 4020 X is a highly stable, moisture-free, high efficiency, pourable antisettling agent offering the effectiveness of the M-P-A 1078 X additive in an easier to handle form. Use of M-P-A 4020 X additive in industrial finishes yields superior control of pigment settling at lower additive levels than for conventional antisettling agents. M-P-A 4020 X additive may be directly substituted on an equal solids basis for either M-P-A 60 X or M-P-A 2000 X. The easy transfer and dispersion offers manufacturing economies. M-P-A 4020 X additive must be heat activated during the pigment dispersion stage.

Key properties

• Moisture-free
• Highly stable
• Pourable or pumpable for improved handling
• Pigment suspension at low additive levels
• Reduces manufacturing time
• Little or no effect on apparent (package) viscosity
• Low activation temperature
• Fast dispersion on high speed dispersers
• Suspends pigments even at spraying viscosities, preventing caking in spray pots, lines, diptanks and storage containers
• Maintains excellent viscosity stability in storage
• Aids application; reducing sag with good leveling
