Characteristics :

Metroark PA-51 is designed to eliminate pigment separation problems like floating, flooding and silking. It is a valuable additive for the paint formulator for maintaining uniform pigment dispersion at concentrations as low as 0.05% .

The paint additive lowers the surface tension of the paint solvents and presumably coats the individual pigment particles to prevent them from coalescing. The additive prevents one pigment of a multi-pigment system from agglomerating in masses or floating to the surface of the paint film.
