ADDITOL XL 480´s Additive to improve surface quality of paint films, particularly automotive coatings. ADDITOL XL 480 may be used with any type of paint material, e.g. on the basis of alkyd/melamine systems, acrylics, polyurethane systems, oil-free polyesters, etc. ADDITOL XL 480 prevents surface defects of paint films. In most cases, the coemployment of ADDITOL XL 480 helps to prevent craters, even caused by neighbouring spray mists of other paints. Further, film defects caused by applicational conditions, like poor levelling,uneven surface, etc. can be avoided. The use of ADDITOL XL 480 affords higher security against surface defects on application

ADDITOL XL 6568 is used for the formulation of stripping enamels, release agents and temporary corrosion protection. ADDITOL XL 6568 is added to stripping enamels as anti adhesion promotor. Coatings of this nature give temporary protection against mechanical attack and corrosion to various substrates. Such coatings can easily be pealed off later. ADDITOL XL 6568 can be used in solvent based as well as in aqueous systems. Suitable binders for solvent based systems are the Hostaflex grades CM 150 and CM 133 as well as the Mowital grades B30HH and B60H. To formulate aqueous systems, acrylic dispersions like Ucecryl B 3022 are recommended. While solvent based release coatings can easily be removed from metallic substrates aqueous systems based on styrene acrylate dispersions can also be removed from glass, pottery, wood and plastics. For formulating systems with high film strength aqueous systems are more suitable than solvent based systems.
