ADDITOL® XL 270

Prevents the sedimentation of pigments in paints. Improves the pigment-wetting during dispersion. In many paint systems the floating of pigments in pigment-mixtures is prevented. The tendency to flow off is reduced and the covering of edges is improved. Suggested for all solvent based and solvent-free paint systems.

• Additol XL 270 is usually compatible with solvent based and solvent-free binders. It prevents the sedimentation of pigments in paints. The rheological character of paints is improved. The tendency to flow on vertical surfaces is reduced. The edges of substrates are better covered in case of dipping application.
• The drying of oxidatively drying systems is not influenced by Additol XL 270, if the appropriated dose is used. Also the efficiency of siccatives in paints, stored for a long time, is not reduced using Additol XL 270.
• Considering anti-corrosive paints, there is no corrosion-resistance loss by using Additol XL 270. It is recommended to be used for the activating of organophile bentonites and it improves the effect of pyrogene silica.

• Additol XL 270 can be added in any stage of the paint production. We especially recommend the addition during pigment dispersion.
• Amounts of 0.1 - 2.0 % on pigments and fillers may serve as a guide. These are standard values, the most effective dose must be found by experiments.
• Standard formulation for the activation of bentonite: 80 - 87 parts xylene or white spirit 10 parts bentonite 10 - 3 parts Additol XL 270
