ADDITOL XW 329 is a paint additive to enhance mar resistance and slip and levelling, particularly of water dilutable paints.ADDITOL XW 329 is a silicone resin supplied as low viscous solvent containing liquid. ADDITOL XW 329 enhances the slip of the film surface and thus protects it from scratching and abrasion. Furthermore, ADDITOL XW 329 improves levelling of the film and prevents film defects. Thus the surface quality ingeneral is improved. In many cases gloss is also enhanced. ADDITOL XW 329 can be employed in water dilutable paints of any type. Reduced intercoat adhesion has not been experienced with the use of ADDITOL XW 329. The effect of ADDITOL XW 329 varies with the formulation of the paint. A level of 0.1 - 0.3 % of ADDITOL XW 329 on the finished paint may serve as a guide.

ADDITOL XW 395 Enhances surface properties of the films and prevents film defects like insufficient wetting and structured surfaces owing to impurities. ADDITOL XW 395 is an additive specially designed for Resydrol paint systems and, compatibility provided, for other waterborne paint systems. Considering the levels and restrictions given below ADDITOL XW 395 can be used in any water dilutable paint with the exception of electrodeposition paints. ADDITOL XW 395 prevents film defects, such as craters and pin holes or can remedy poor wetting owing to impurities brought into the aqueous paint during preperation or processing. Insufficiently degreased metal is the main cause for such troubles. With ADDITOL XW 395 wetting problems are avoided. It should be noted that film defects arising from silicone oils in many cases cannot be prevented with ADDITOL XW 395. ADDITOL XW 395 prevents floating of pigments, striation, orange peel, etc. and improves the film surface in general. ADDITOL XW 395 at the recommended levels, does not impair the physical properties of the stoved film. In primers ADDITOL XW 395 may cause a certain degree of gloss. Additions of ADDITOL XW 395 may adversely influence the effect of antifoaming agents; on the other hand, it can remedy infavourable effects of the antifoams. In aqueous paints for spray application ADDITOL XW 395 can be used without precautions, while in dipping or flow coating paints ADDITOL XW 395 must be carefully balanced with the antifoams normally present.

ADDITOL XW 6555 meet legislation & regulation requirements and is a ready to use combination drier designed to have excellent compatibility and fast incorporation in all waterborne and solvent borne alkyd paints. The balanced non-hazardous metal combination results in very good through drying performances combined with good surface drying. ADDITOL XW 6555 can be used as drier for all water?dilutable, solvent borne and high solid oxidative drying alkyd resins. The innovative emulsification technology employed enables a labeling free use in high quality architectural and protective coating applications using alkyds.

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 %.
