Methods of Addition
The preferred method is
to add the IAF compound to the pigment mix before grinding
or regrinding operation. Another method is to stir the
dry IAF compound into the finished paint. Since the amounts
of IAF compounds will vary, and since the methods of handling
them will vary, the formulator should determine the optimum
quantity needed to prevent floating in his formulation.
In many cases, 2 pounds of IAF per 100 gallons of finished
paint gives satisfactory results.

Shown are portions of panels finished with pigmented coatings
with and without IAF X-2280. Note the uniform color and
continuous surface of the finish with the IAF X-2280 (top)
and the streaky appearance of the finish without it (bottom.)
