Separation of Liquid

(Partial precipitation out of solution of the coating)

 

 

CAUSE

REMEDY
A

Wrong solvent used.

 

If the separation is slight, addition of the proper solvent, along with constant agitation, may have a positive result.
B Material subjected to unusual conditions of heat or cold. Keep material at a temperature of 70" F to 75" F. If separation occurs because of extreme heat or extreme cold, the treatment is similar to correction E.
C Over reduction.

 

Follow directions for proper reduction. If material is already over reduced, addition of fresh material will often bring the production batch back to the proper state.
D Reducer added too quickly without sufficient stirring. Add reducer slowly, stirring constantly.
E Natural evaporation of solvent if material allowed to remain open to the air over a period of time. If oxidation has not proceeded too far, addition of proper amounts of solvent, plus addition of fresh material will restore the condition of the batch.

 

Note: If the separation is too pronounced, it may not be possible to put the material back into condition satisfactorily for use.
