High pigment loading without increase in viscosity. Reduction of dispersing time. Enhances gloss and levelling. For air drying and stoving solvent-borne paints and particularly for water dilutable paint systems. ADDITOL XL 203 prevents the floating of titanium dioxide in conjunction with organic or inorganic coloured pigments. It can be employed in solvent-borne and water dilutable air drying and stoving paint systems. ADDITOL XL 203 enhances gloss and levelling of paint films. Pigment loading of paints and pigment pastes can be increased without rises in viscosity. Dispersion time is reduced. The recommended level may range from 0.1 to 1.5 % on total paint. Level on pigments: inorganic pigments: 0.5 - 2.5 %, organic pigments: 1.5 - 5 %. The figures given here may serve as a guide for extensive trials to find the optimum in dosage and effect and to save costs. Since ADDITOL XL 203 is a cationic product it should not be used in conjunction with certain anionic products. Phase seperation occurs and ADDITOL XL 203 becomes ineffective at once. The compatibility should be determined by experiments. ADDITOL XL 203 can be combined with cationic and non-ionic products.

ADDITOL XL 203 is a high pigment loading without increase in viscosity. Reduction of dispersing time. For air drying and stoving solvent-borne paints and for water dilutable paint systems. ADDITOL XL 204 prevents the floating of titanium dioxide in conjunction with organic or inorganic coloured pigments. It can be employed in solvent-borne and water dilutable air drying and stoving paint systems. ADDITOL XL 204 affords higher pigment loading of the paint system and pigment pastes without causing the viscosity rise usual with such products and, at the same time, reduces dispersing time. The recommended level may range from 0.1 to 1.5 % on total paint. Level on pigments: inorganic pigments: 0.5 - 2.5 % organic pigments: 1.5 - 5.0 %, Levels of addition in water dilutable air drying and stoving system may range from 1 to 6 % on pigments. The figures given here may serve as a guide for extensive trials to find the optimum in dosage and effect to save costs.

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.

ADDITOL XW 330 is a wetting and dispersing agent for inorganic pigments and extenders in aqueous systems and for stabilizing emulsion paints. Prevents thickening. ADDITOL XW 330, together with polyphosphates (e.g. Calgon N), is used in emulsion paints for dispersing and wetting in pigments and extenders. The product can be employed for all the usual emulsions, e.g. homopolymer and copolymer polyvinyl acetate, polyacrylic and styrene/acrylic copolymer dispersions. ADDITOL XW 330 improves the storage stability of highly pigmented emulsion paints and prevents them from thickening.
