Products in Rail & Mass Transit Coatings: Wetting Agent

ADDITOL® XL 203 stands as a versatile formulation, serving as a dispersant, wetting agent, and anti-floating agent. Proudly claiming to be NMP-free, APEO-free, and tin-free, this product boasts features such as high film thickness, circulation stability, high gloss, wet-on-wet properties, high pigment loading, and low pigment flotation. Tailored for enamel and solvent-borne coating applications, ADDITOL® XL 203 offers special properties, including high pigment loading without viscosity increase, reduced dispersing time, and enhanced gloss and leveling. Its application versatility extends to air drying and stoving solvent-borne paints, particularly for water-dilutable paint systems.

Genesee Polymers’GP-690 ABA SILICONE POLYOL COPOLYMER is a 100% active non-ionic silicone polyol block copolymer with the following structure: P-690 contains polyoxyethylene blocks and dimethyl silicone polymer blocks, which are joined through non-hydrolyzable silicon to carbon bonds.GP-690 ABA SILICONE POLYOL COPOLYMER is designed to function as an emulsifier, wetting agent and profoaming additive for a variety of applications including: polyurethane foams, hard surface cleaners and polishes, and cosmetic formulations.GP-690 contains a primary hydroxyl group at each end of the molecule, allowing for reaction with isocyanates in polyurethane resin systems. This is expected to improve flow and leveling of polyurethane coatings and impart non-stick characteristics to the cured coatings.In textile applications, GP-690 is suggested as a fiber lubricant where more thermal stability is needed than is provided by organic lubricants such as stearates or mineral oils.GP-690is soluble in lower alcohols (EtOH, IPA) and dispersible in water, along with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Anionic wetting and dispersing additive to prevent settling and flooding of pigments

Multifunctional additive with good wetting and dispersing properties for solvent-based and water borne coating systems, biodegradable. ANTIGEL is mainly used in solvent containing systems based on alkyds, alkyd/melamine, nitrocellulose combinations and polyesters. The above mentioned properties of ANTIGEL are also suitable for coating systems based on alkyds, alkyd/acrylic and other systems.
