Additol® XL 122 is a silicone type paint additive. It enhances the resistance of solventborne paints to mechanical attack by increasing the slip of the paint surface. Furthermore, Additol® XL 122 improves leveling and flow prevents surface defects like orange peel and thus in general contributes to the formation of flawless film surfaces with enhanced sheen. In coil coating and can coating paints as well as in furniture enamels Additol® XL 122 is used to prevent blocking also. Additol® XL 122 can be employed with air drying alkyd resin paints, alkyd resin stoving paints, thermosetting acrylic paints, nitrocellulose lacquers, acid curing paints, alkyd-isocyanate paints or acrylics, isocyanate enamels.
Paints containing Additol® XL 122 can be recoated in general without additional treatment of the surface. The effect of Additol® XL 122 varies with the formulation of the paint. A level of 0.05 to 0.3 % of Additol® XL 122 on the finished paint may serve as a guide.
- Processing Information
In order to obtain thorough distribution in the paint it is recommended to add Additol® XL 122 prior to final dilution with the solvents and prior to adjusting the final color tone.
