Product features and advantages

VOK®- AP CG produces thixotropic flow behavior. Due to its efficient prevention of solid sedimentation, it improves processability and storage stability. In addition, higher coating thickness can be obtained by reducing sagging after construction. VOK®- AP CG is an inorganic substance, which is stable to dilute acids and alkalis.
