| Procedure |
1.Paint Preparation: Dilute the original paint with 10% water (by volume). 2.Spray Application on Substrate: Using the same substrate, apply the paint with a spray gun using the following pattern: Horizontal passes: 6 passes. Vertical passes: 4 passes (over the same wet area, creating a heavy film build). 3.Multi-Round Evaluation (3 Rounds): Round 1: Spray 2 overlapping cross-coats (one horizontal + one vertical pass set). Round 2: Spray 3 overlapping cross-coats. Round 3: Spray 4 overlapping cross-coats. 4.Fluid Adjustment Between Rounds: After completing each round, increase the fluid delivery (material output) of the spray gun by approximately half a turn. 5.Constant Parameters During Each Round: Within each round, do not adjust the fluid flow rate, air pressure, or atomization settings of the spray gun. Purpose: This method evaluates the paint's sag resistance under increasing film thickness and material output, simulating potential application errors or heavy builds. |

| Conclusion |
Anjeka 4420 demonstrates superior application characteristics in spray operations: Excellent Atomization: Provides finer mist and reduced overspray compared to other thixotropes at equivalent viscosity. Smooth Application: Results in a quieter spray process with less paint mist. Enhanced Metallic Effect: Promotes superior aluminum flake orientation and alignment. Balanced Performance: Maintains good sag resistance without negatively affecting gloss or recoatability. High-Gloss Finish: Achieves gloss values of up to 121 GU (at 60°) and 75 GU (at 20°). |
