ADDITOL VXL 4930 may be used in all solvent-containing and water-dilutable paint systems. It promotes the spray dust absorption, prevents orange peel and increases scratch resistance. ADDITOL VXL 4930 is effective at low concentrations and at the correct dosage, does not adversely affect intercoat adhesion. Blistering, cratering and floating in pigment blends are effectively prevented. It does not stabilize the foam during paint production and application. The substrate wetting is advanced.ADDITOL VXL 4930 is used primarily in industrial stoving/baking paints and 2K PUR paint systems.

ADDITOL XL 109 prevents surface defects in oxidatively drying paints, like icing, wrinkling, shrinkage. Enhances through-drying, levelling and hardness. For paints on oil and alkyd resins. ADDITOL XL 109 is a specific antioxidizing agent for oxidizing paint systems and inhibits or retards the crosslinking reactions initiated by air oxygen in the surface of paint films. Thus ADDITOL XL 109 acts as antiskinning agent and impairs too quick drying of the surface. The paint films remain liquid for longer times and oxygen can contact the deeper layers of the films. Through drying is enhanced and becomes uniform over the whole layer of the film.Surface defects usually due to inuniform drying, like icing, wrinkling and shrinkage can be prevented. At the same time, gloss, levelling, and film hardness are enhanced.ADDITOL XL 109 remains active in the paint on prolonged storage in closed containers. Crystallization eventually occurring on storage at lower temperatures can be dissolved by gentle heating. We recommend to jointly use ADDITOL XL 109 and ADDITOL XL 297. Both additives are supplementary in effect giving superior performance in respect of antiskinning, drying and gloss.

ADDITOL XL 203 is a high pigment loading without increase in viscosity. Reduction of dispersing time. For air drying and stoving solvent-borne paints and for water dilutable paint systems. ADDITOL XL 204 prevents the floating of titanium dioxide in conjunction with organic or inorganic coloured pigments. It can be employed in solvent-borne and water dilutable air drying and stoving paint systems. ADDITOL XL 204 affords higher pigment loading of the paint system and pigment pastes without causing the viscosity rise usual with such products and, at the same time, reduces dispersing time. The recommended level may range from 0.1 to 1.5 % on total paint. Level on pigments: inorganic pigments: 0.5 - 2.5 % organic pigments: 1.5 - 5.0 %, Levels of addition in water dilutable air drying and stoving system may range from 1 to 6 % on pigments. The figures given here may serve as a guide for extensive trials to find the optimum in dosage and effect to save costs.

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
