Applications

• Additive EP024 is used as additive for waterborne stoving enamels.
• It improves humidity and corrosion resistance, adhesion, chemical resistance, stain resistance and pasteurization resistance. In many cases, a better cure response will be obtained.
• 5 - 15% of additive (calculated on total resin solids) is recommended to be added during the final stages of paint making. The specific amount of additive required will vary depending on the type of water-soluble resin and the nature of the substrate.
