Casathix™ 1898 is used to impart structure to alkyd resins. A level of 5 to 7% by weight on the base resin would normally be used with a reaction time of 2 to 3 hrs at 200 to 230°C.
The optimum Casathix™ 1898 level and reaction conditions required however, will depend on the base alkyd resin used and the degree of thixotropy required in the finished product. These should be established by experimentation.
