Chemical Composition

Modified, silicone-free polyether

Advantages
  • It is very compatible and causes no haze in the coating system.
  • In many cases it displays a deaerating effect.
  • Even at a low dosage it leads to an increase in surface tension.
  • increased surface energy
  • improved recoatability and intercoat adhesion
Other Applications

industrial coatings
wood- and furniture coatings
UV-curing overprint varnishes

Handling

The additive is UV-reactive and displays crosslinking with radiation curable systems. For this reason its effect is long lasting and it does not migrate.
