Special Features and Benefits

The additive is recommended for solvent-borne coatings, particularly for industrial coatings as well as furniture and parquet varnishes. It improves scratch resistance and creates a soft-feel effect. The additive has a matting effect and improves the orientation of silica matting agents. It also reduces settling.
Recommended Levels
2-5% 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 preferably incorporated into the coating at the end of the production process with a low shear rate. Mix well before use.
