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.

PC-1644 DEFOAMER is a 40 % solution of an acrylic polymer in a petroleum solvent. It was developed to offer improved defoaming performance versus PC-1244 in non-aqueous organic fluids. PC-1644 is a general purpose defoamer which offers superior foam control at low use levels, generally 10 to 20 % lower use level versus PC-1244. PC-1644 is silicone-free and exhibits very low odor. PC-1644 defoamer applications include usage in gear oils, specialty lubricants, and shock absorber, hydraulic, turbine or transmission oils. Typical use levels of the solutions range from 50 - 500 ppm (20 - 200 ppm active polymer). The optimum level is dependent upon the nature of the oil and it is therefore necessary to run a concentration profile for each oil. The defoamer is most typically employed at 200 - 250 ppm of solution (80 - 100 ppm active polymer).

ADDITOL XL 6568 is used for the formulation of stripping enamels, release agents and temporary corrosion protection. ADDITOL XL 6568 is added to stripping enamels as anti adhesion promotor. Coatings of this nature give temporary protection against mechanical attack and corrosion to various substrates. Such coatings can easily be pealed off later. ADDITOL XL 6568 can be used in solvent based as well as in aqueous systems. Suitable binders for solvent based systems are the Hostaflex grades CM 150 and CM 133 as well as the Mowital grades B30HH and B60H. To formulate aqueous systems, acrylic dispersions like Ucecryl B 3022 are recommended. While solvent based release coatings can easily be removed from metallic substrates aqueous systems based on styrene acrylate dispersions can also be removed from glass, pottery, wood and plastics. For formulating systems with high film strength aqueous systems are more suitable than solvent based systems.
