DEUTERON VT 855 is an easily digestible thickening and stabilizing agent for aqueous systems. Paste-like and free flowing.

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.

Prevents the sedimentation of pigments in paints. Improves the pigment-wetting during dispersion. In many paint systems the floating of pigments in pigment-mixtures is prevented. The tendency to flow off is reduced and the covering of edges is improved. Suggested for all solvent based and solvent-free paint systems. ADDITOL XL 270 is usually compatible with solvent based and solvent-free binders. It prevents the sedimentation of pigments in paints. The rheological character of paints is improved. The tendency to flow on vertical surfaces is reduced. The edges of substrates are better covered in case of dipping application. The drying of oxidatively drying systems is not influenced by ADDITOL XL 270, if the appropriated dose is used. Also the efficiency of siccatives in paints, stored for a long time, is not reduced using ADDITOL XL 270. Considering anti-corrosive paints, there is no corrosion-resistance loss by using ADDITOL XL 270. It is recommended to be used for the activating of organophile bentonites and it improves the effect of pyrogene silica.

HYDROXYPROPYLCELLULOSE H is an additive soluble in water, water-free lower alcohols and polar solvents. Solubility in organic solvents is limited only by the viscosity increase. Viscosity of HPC in aqueous solution is virtually unchanged in pH range from 1-12.
