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 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.

ADDITOL XL 203 reduces dispersing time. Enhances gloss and levelling. Effective with all pigments employed in air drying and stoving solvent-borne paints and water dilutable paints systems. ADDITOL XL 250 is a wetting agent and dispersing agent effective in solvent-borne, and water dilutable air drying and stoving paint systems. Even small additions considerably reduce pigment milling time. ADDITOL XL 250 enhances gloss and levelling of the paint films and gives strong colours with organic pigments. ADDITOL XL 250 prevents sedimentation of pigments and extenders. ADDITOL XL 250, used in water dilutable paint systems, exerts a stabilizing effect on the paint binder.

ROSKYDAL K-36 is a binder for highly filled, coarse and fine knifing fillers for use on metal, wood and mineral substrates. Due to the high reactivity of ROSKYDAL K 36, fillers based on this product quickly cure to sandability, especially with sandingmachines. The hardness of ROSKYDAL K 36 is equivalent to that of a 1 : 1 combination of the hard ROSKYDAL K 14 M and the flexible ROSKYDAL K 60. ROSKYDAL K 36 is ideal for use as the sole binder for car body fillers. It can be made harder by the addition of ROSKYDAL K 14 M and more flexible by combination with ROSKYDAL K 60. The low viscosity of the resin promotes the wetting of the extenders, thus reducing the formulation time of fillers.
