ADDITOL VXL 4950 is a product without special pre-treatment of plastic materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polyamide (e.g. corona discharge, roughening, flame or chromic acid treatment) good adhesion of coatings can be obtained after applying a thin adhesion promoting layer of ADDITOL VXL 4950 to the surfaces. For plastic substrates made of polyethylene a short period of additional UV-irradiation of this film is recommendable. In general irradiation of ADDITOL VXL 4950-coatings can further improve adhesion .

ADDITOL XL 121 is a paint additive to enhance mar resistance and levelling of air drying and stoving paints, particularly for silicone modified air drying and stoving alkyd resins. ADDITOL XL 121 is a silicone containing paint additive supplied as low-viscous solution. ADDITOL XL 121 enhances mar resistance of solvent-borne paints by reducing the surface resistance of the paint film. ADDITOL XL 121 improves levelling and prevents film structures and thus enhances film performance in general. ADDITOL XL 121 is suited for air drying alkyds, stoving alkyds, thermosetting acrylic resins, nitrocellulose paints, acid curing paints, alkyd-acrylate-isocyanate systems, and particularly for air drying and stoving-silicone modified alkyd resins. The effect of ADDITOL XL 121 depends on the type of paint system and on the formulation. The quantity of ADDITOL XL 121 may range from 0.1 - 0.5 % on paint as a guide.

ADDITOL VXW 4940N is the lead-free combination drier. ADDITOL VXW 4940N produces in water-dilutable alkyd resin paints a quick set-drying in connection with an even trough-drying. ADDITOL VXW 4940N contains all metals which are necessary for an utmost oxidative drying. Adding any other drier is not necessary. The lead-free combination drier ADDITOL VXW 4940N produces in water-dilutable alkyd resin paints a quick set-drying in connection with an even trough-drying. ADDITOL VXW 4940N contains all metals which are necessary for an utmost oxidative drying. Adding any other drier is not necessary. ADDITOL VXW 4940N can be used as drier for all water-dilutable, oxidatively drying alkyd resin paints. Especially recommendable is the usage of ADDITOL VXW 4940N for drying alkyd resin emulsions, e. g. Resydrol AY 586w, Resydrol AY 466w, Resydrol AZ 436w, because contrary to conventional driers a homogeneous distribution is provided and therefore a quick drying and most of all good drying stability can be achieved. ADDITOL VXW 4940N can also be used for acryl-alkyd hybrid systems.

ADDITOL VXW 6393 was designed to destroy foam generated in emulsion wall-paints, based on PVAC, PVC, acrylics and their mixed polymers. Prior to using ADDITOL VXW 6393 it should be thoroughly agitated since it is prone to sediment fall out. When examining its rheology it is necessary to wait an additional 5 minutes. ADDITOL VXW 6393 can be easily emulsified and worked into the designated product.
