ADDITOL XL 102 is used to improve the effectiveness of paint removers containing paraffine and wax. Post treatment with organic solvents is not necessary.

SETAL A F 48 TB/X is in the formulation of high-quality, air and force-drying industrial coatings, radiator paints, special effect finishes, primers and DIY paints. SETAL A F 48 TB/X is the standard binder for air and force-drying industrial coatings. Itsmain characteristics are its rapid drying (four-hour coating), good through-drying and curing to formdefect-free films, even in thick coats. It also yields good film properties - whiteness, resistance to yellowing, gloss and gloss retention, brilliance, body, flow and weather stability. SETAL A F 48 TB/X can be used in primers as well as in all types of top coats and one-coat finishes. Coatings based on SETAL A F 48 TB/X can be applied using conventional methods such as spraying, dipping and flow coating. A combination of 0.1 % Ca/0.06 % Co/0.2 % Zn and 0.2 % Zr-octoate, calculated as metal on solvent-free resin, has proved to be a useful mixture for speeding up the drying. Combination with long-oil alkyd resins is necessary for DIY paints applied by brushing.

ADDITOL VXW 4973 is an easily emulsifiable defoamer with very good incorporating ability. It is suited for defoaming of coarse-disperse to fine-disperse (plastic) dispersions on the basis of PVAC, PVC, acrylates and their copolymerisates. Also low-viscous products may be defoamed with ADDITOL VXW 4973.

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.
