ADDITOL VXL 4930 may be used in all solvent-containing and water-dilutable paint systems. It promotes the spray dust absorption, prevents orange peel and increases scratch resistance. ADDITOL VXL 4930 is effective at low concentrations and at the correct dosage, does not adversely affect intercoat adhesion. Blistering, cratering and floating in pigment blends are effectively prevented. It does not stabilize the foam during paint production and application. The substrate wetting is advanced.ADDITOL VXL 4930 is used primarily in industrial stoving/baking paints and 2K PUR paint systems.

ADDITOL XL 109 prevents surface defects in oxidatively drying paints, like icing, wrinkling, shrinkage. Enhances through-drying, levelling and hardness. For paints on oil and alkyd resins. ADDITOL XL 109 is a specific antioxidizing agent for oxidizing paint systems and inhibits or retards the crosslinking reactions initiated by air oxygen in the surface of paint films. Thus ADDITOL XL 109 acts as antiskinning agent and impairs too quick drying of the surface. The paint films remain liquid for longer times and oxygen can contact the deeper layers of the films. Through drying is enhanced and becomes uniform over the whole layer of the film.Surface defects usually due to inuniform drying, like icing, wrinkling and shrinkage can be prevented. At the same time, gloss, levelling, and film hardness are enhanced.ADDITOL XL 109 remains active in the paint on prolonged storage in closed containers. Crystallization eventually occurring on storage at lower temperatures can be dissolved by gentle heating. We recommend to jointly use ADDITOL XL 109 and ADDITOL XL 297. Both additives are supplementary in effect giving superior performance in respect of antiskinning, drying and gloss.

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.

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.
