Coatings:
ADD-3777 has a very wide compatibility, which makes it extremely suitable for use in clear coatings. It improves leveling, prevents cratering and helps substrate wetting without damaging the inter-coat adhesion in multi-layer applications.
It is recommended in the following application systems:
• Stoving enamels based on alkyd, acrylic and polyester resins
• Polyurethane coatings
• Two-pack epoxy compounds
• Air-dried alkyd systems
ADD-3777 should be added at the end of the batch preparation.
0.4-2.0% on total formulation weight
Printing Inks:
ADD-3777 is recommended for free-radically and cationically mediated UV-curable printing inks and over-print varnishes.
It is also suitable for conventional alkyd-based printing inks and over-print varnishes, and for solvent-based printing inks.
ADD-3777 will be effective in flexographic, screen and offset application to difficult substrates. As it does not interfere with inter-coat adhesion, trapping or over-printing is not impaired and the product is suitable for process printing.
In over-print varnishes, ADD-3777 may be added at any stage of manufacture.
In printing inks, addition of ADD-3777 should take place after the dispersion step. In all cases care should be taken to ensure uniform distribution of the additive.
