BETOLIN® Q40

BETOLIN® Q40 is a low viscosity, aqueous solution of special hydrophilic alkoxylated alkylammonium compounds. Betolin® Q 40 has an influence on the polysilicates and silicic acid micelles of potassium silicate binders. It stabilizes the polysilicate ions and thereby reduces post-thickening and strong viscosity rise of paints and plasters on storage.

Properties
  • Contains only small traces of organic solvent residues (VOC),
  • Achieves viscosity stability during the storage of paints and plasters,
  • This action is further boosted by the inclusion of Betolin A11 and Sapetin D20,
  • Supports the incorporation of inorganic pigments and fillers,
  • Improves the Betolin binders’ stability to electrolytes,
  • Promotes the improvement in adhesion of paints and platers to the substrate, -improves suppression of chalking,
  • Can promote the reduction of formation of stains on colored coatings

Application

Betolin® Q 40 stabilizes the silicate binders Betolin® K 28, Betolin® K 35, Betolin® K 42, Betolin® P 35 and Betolin® P 50 in silicate emulsion coating systems. Betolin® Q 40 is added in proportions of 0,5 – 1,0 % to formulations for paints and 0,2 – 0,5 % to formulations for plasters. A further improvement in stability is obtained through the inclusion of 0,5 – 1,0% of Betolin® A 11.
