Special Features and Benefits

The additive prevents surface irregularities like craters, scars, blisters, pinholes and orange peel. It suppresses the risk of solvent popping and improves leveling. It is recommended for use in solvent-borne, air-drying coatings and baking systems.
Recommended Levels
2-7% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal dosage levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive can be added at any point during the production process, also as a post additive.
