Coatings and Printing Inks
Special Features and Benefits
The additive is used as an anti-cratering and leveling additive, increases gloss and gives a long wave effect. It only provides a minor reduction of the surface tension and does not negatively influence the recoating/overprinting capabilities and intercoat adhesion. As a result of its high molecular weight and its non-polar structure it also has a deaerating effect. The additive is thermally stable.
Recommended Use : The additive is recommended for solvent-borne and solvent-free coating systems, UV-curing printing inks and overprint varnishes.
Recommended Levels
0.1-1.5% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions : The additive can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition. Better deaeration can be achieved by adding to the mill base.
Ambient-curing Plastic Systems
Special Features and Benefits
The additive is used as an anti-cratering and leveling additive, increases gloss and also has a deaerating effect as a result of its high molecular weight and non-polar structure. It only reduces surface tension slightly. The additive is thermally stable.
Recommended Use: The additive is recommended for all ambient curing resin systems such as unsaturated polyester resins and epoxy resins.
Recommended Levels
0.1-1.5% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions : The additive can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition. Better deaeration can be achieved by adding to the mill base.- Product Applications
Coatings Industry
Special Features and Benefits
The additive is used as an anti-cratering and leveling additive in all solvent-borne coatings. It increases gloss and produces a long wave effect. It reduces the surface tension only to a slight extent, and does not impair the recoatability and intercoat adhesion. The additive is thermally stable.
Recommended Levels
0.1-1.0% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions : The additive can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition.
