Product features and advantages

VOK®- AP CMO produces thixotropic flow behavior. Because it is very effective in preventing solid sedimentation, it improves processability and storage stability. In addition, higher coating thickness can be obtained by reducing sagging tendency after construction. VOK®- AP CMO is an inorganic substance, which is stable to dilute acids and alkalis.
