Extensive testing has shown that adding 0.51.0% AEROSIL,
relative to the total coating formulation, is appropriate. These
concentrations should be regarded as reference values only,
and must be amended if required. The following examples
illustrate how AEROSIL can be used in various water-based
coating systems.

Figure 6 shows the effect of 0.5% AEROSIL on the rheological properties of a base coat. An additional criterion for assessing the quality of a coating structure is the intercoat adhesion.
For example, good adhesion between base coat and clear coat
must be guaranteed.

The following two coating systems illustrate that for an otherwise identical formulation, pigment addition alone can be
the crucial factor determining whether hydrophilic or hydrophobic AEROSIL possesses the greater rheological action. In
the unpigmented coatings the hydrophilic AEROSIL 200 has
significantly greater rheological action than the highly hydrophobic AEROSIL R 812 S. Simply by incorporating a pigment/
filler mixture into an otherwise identical formulation, the result
changes to the extent that the hydrophobic AEROSIL is then
more effective. For example this reversal can be detected in a
two component coating based on acrylate/isocyanate or in a
stoving coating based on PUR-dispersion/ melamine resin
(see Figure 811).

Shear stress crack tests were carried out also on these clear
coat, corresponding to the viscosity measurements described
in Section 5.2. Figure 14 shows the variation in viscosity for a
load of = 67 Pa and after the load had been abruptly reduced
to = 6 Pa. Viscosity recovery was measured via this step
function.

AEROSIL 300 shows greater efficiency of rheological
products, and is therefore preferred for improving pigment dispersibility or for increasing pigment stability,
and in some cases also for controlling rheology.
