FEATURES Gives a pleasing decorative appearance to poorly finished metal surfaces DESCRIPTION Intended primarily for solvent based paints but can be incorporated in SOME water-borne systems. Addition levels are critical and have to be carefully determined for each product, care must also be taken to avoid contamination of other nonhammertone paints. HOW TO USE Additive concentration, solvent type and level, resin stability, paint viscosity and application spraying pressure all contribute significantly to the type of hammertone finish obtained. Proper control of all these variables is essential in order to obtain a satisfactory product. Dow Corning 61 Additive is usually added to solvent based coatings during the final thinning stage, but in water based coatings is often incorporated with the resin prior to letdown. Amount needed The effects of Dow Corning 61 Additive should always be tested in the laboratory prior to its use on a production scale. Scale of manufacture may affect hammertone pattern size and attention must be given to thorough mixing of the paint. The amount of Dow Corning 61 Additive required depends on a number of factors such as the type of paint, the solvent it contains, the resin and pigment system and the total system solids. Concentrations may vary from 0.05 to 0.5% Diluting the additive If dilution of Dow Corning 61 Additive is desired - as when adding an extremely small amount - it may be diluted with aromatic solvents such as xylene or toluene, mineral spirits or ketones (see Handling Precautions). Recoating Finishes incorporating Dow Corning 61 Additive are generally recoatable without surface preparation. In the unlikely event that recoating difficulties occur the surface should be washed with solvent then wet sanded with a 1% detergent solution. Imparts a hammertone effect to certain finishes.
