Solventborne
For liquid coatings, we recommend conducting a ladder study: 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%
To avoid blistering, Intelli-ion® works well at low loadings in combination with Silquest A-1100 in solventborne systems.

Waterborne
For liquid coatings, we recommend conducting a ladder study: 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%
Intelli-ion® is acidic, so for waterborne systems we recommend balancing pH levels to around 8, from the start, with a product like AMP-95 at around 0.2%. To avoid blistering, Intelli-ion® works well at low loadings in combination with CoatOSil MP 200 in waterborne systems.
