ADDITOL VXW 4973 is an easily emulsifiable defoamer with very good incorporating ability. It is suited for defoaming of coarse-disperse to fine-disperse (plastic) dispersions on the basis of PVAC, PVC, acrylates and their copolymerisates. Also low-viscous products may be defoamed with ADDITOL VXW 4973.

MODAFLOW 9200 is a new low‐viscosity flow modifier developed for high performance in solvent‐based automotive and industrial coatings, especially in clear top coat applications where it offers high gloss, low orange peel, and excellent DOI (Distinctivness of Image) in the coating film. Using of Modaflow 9200 can significantly improve the quality of the coatings as follows: improves flow and leveling, reduces pinholes, fisheyes, craters and orange peel, improves substrate wetting, improves or maintain high gloss, improves or maintain substrate and intercoat adhesion, facilitates pigment dispersion, quantity to be added: 0.1 ‐ 2.0 % on solid resin.

MODAFLOW LAMBDA is a unique acryl-silicone polymer hybrid technology flow promoter combining individual efficiencies from high end acrylic as well as silicone leveling performance. It is highly compatible in all non-aqueous clear coat and topcoat formulations and outperforms surface characteristics such as: gloss, DOI, sharpness & brilliancy, anti orange-peel effect. It is efficient at low dosage levels and incorporates easily in many solvent borne resin types including high solids and ultra-high solids. Further it can be applied in solvent free and radiation curing systems.MODAFLOW LAMBDA demonstrates superior balance of compatibility and effectiveness compared to traditional silicone or acrylic flow and leveling additives in Automotive OEM, refinish as well as industrial coatings. Due to its high hydroxyl functionality, MODAFLOW LAMBDA may be co cross-linked in stoving or 2K systems and does not show a decrease in interlayer adhesion. In multiple layer systems the stoving temperature should not exceed 130 °C to ensure a good recoatability. The recommended dosage level is 0.05 % calculated on total formulated coatings as a starting point and optimum dosage range is between 0.05 % - 0.3 %. In some cases the dosage could be increased up to 0,5 %.

MODAFLOW 2100 is a flow modifier developed for high performance polyester and acrylic based, high solids and UV liquid coating applications. Modaflow 2100 contains no silicone ingredients. The addition of Modaflow 2100 will help: improve flow and levelling, reduce pinholes, fisheyes, craters, and orange peel, improve substrate wetting, aid in air release, facilitate pigment dispersion, quantity to be added: 0.1 - 1.0 % on solid resin.
