 Forms a film with high resistance to breakage, humidity, aging and UV.
 Minimum to No foam formation
 Medium Viscosity, requires less thickening additives.
 Low absorsion to water
 If used at low PVC levels it offers a satin finish in paints.
 Good resistance to abrasion under humid conditions when used between 28 – 32% binder in the
formulation of exterior paints and type I.

Light Stability: Good
Pigment Binding: Excellent

Usage:

In general, mixture of fillers must be first disperesed. Subsequently, incorporate the rest of the additives and
®
finally at the same agitation speed or at half the speed add AMTEX RE 2. In order to obtain good storage
®
stability of the finished product it is recommended to use dispersants AMTEX PIN 41.

Anti-Foam:
®
AMTEX RE 2 is already formulated to produce low foam, however, if it forms when mixing pigments and fillers
it is recommended to add a general use anti foaming agent (dilute in at least its same wight in water).

Biocide:
It is recommended to add biocide agents to finished products that will be stored for extended periods of time.

Thickener:
®
AMTEX RE 2 may be used in the formulacion of paints and coatings using Cellulosic thickeners (HEC) or a
®
mixture of cellulosic and acrylic thickeners such as AMTEX REC 2.

Compatibility:
®
AMTEX RE 2 is compatible with non-ionic and anionic dispersions. Compatibility with thickeners must be
carefully measured to avoid altering the properties of the final product.
