Advantages
  • Releases air entrapped during paint production and mixing process.    
  • Breaks foam produced during coating application either by brush, roller or airless spray.    
  • Excellent etfects are obtained in woolroller application.    
  • Imparts leveling properties to a film by breaking foam.    
  • Prevents or minimizes fish eyes without affecting recoatability.

Applications

1958 can be used in solvent-based coatings such as Oil-based, Longoil alkyds, Mediumoil allkyds, C.R., Epoxies, and Acid-eure paints. lt is particularly effective for Long'oil and C.R., paints frequently applied by wool Toller: It is also recommended for heavy duty paints.

Note

1958 is designed to minimize any adverse effects on the paint and the applied film. However, excessive level or insufticient dispersion, in extreme cases, may cause film defects such as pinholes, craters and recoatability. A thorough preliminary test is required to obtain the maximum pertormance.
