Application Information

Powder Coatings
Special Features and Benefits

The additive improves the degassing of powder coatings with ß-hydroxyalkylamide curing agents It also improves leveling, D.O.I. and pigment wetting. The additive provides a scar effect in UV powder coatings.
Recommended Use
The additive is recommended for powder coatings based on epoxy, polyester, polyurethane and acrylate resins and polyester/epoxy combinations.

Recommended Levels
0.5-2% additive (as supplied) based on the 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 is mixed with resin, hardener, pigments and other additives in a high-speed mixer and then extruded together with all components.
