YShield POLY5 Polymer Additive

Further details of YShield POLY5 Polymer Additive

Pure acrylate-based additive for tinting paints, which improves conductivity, adhesion, and film hardness in special YSHIELD paints. It is especially recommended if the paint's resistance is too low or if better adhesion to the surface is desired.

The recommended addition amount is 1% to 50%, but you will also need about 10% of VISC5 thickener to prevent the coating viscosity from becoming too high.

Recommended application:

• Preparation: the surface to be painted must be clean, free of dust and grease
• Mixing: add the required amount of POLY5 (e.g., ~10%) to the paint and, if necessary, add VISC5 thickener for better viscosity
• Application: apply the paint with a brush, roller, or spray gun according to the application instructions for the specific shading paint
• Grounding: always ensure proper grounding (e.g., with grounding tape or cable) for full functionality when using shading paint

When should it be used?

• If the electrical resistance of the shading paint is too high
• If you want a harder, more durable coating
• If the surface is more difficult to adhere to or more porous
