Properties and Applications

EDAPLAN LA 452 reduces the surface tension of aqueous systems without increasing the foam formation. Thus substrate wetting, leveling and gloss are improved. EDAPLAN LA 452 is free of silicone and has no adverse effects on recoatability. This additive is compatible with all common resin systems.

Advantages of using EDAPLAN LA 452:

  • Gloss improvement and reduction of haze
  • Prevention of surface defects like craters and Bénard cells
  • Improvement of substrate wetting
  • No increase in foam
  • Good recoatability

Main application areas

  • Architectural Coatings
  • Wood and furniture coatings
  • Automotive OEM and repair coatings
  • Industrial Coatings
  • Printing inks and overprint varnishes
Recommended Levels and Use

To improve substrate wetting and leveling properties the normal dosage ranges from 0.1 to 1.0 % as supplied on total formulation. A ladder study is recommended to determine optimum concentration level. EDAPLAN LA 452 can be added at any stage of the manufacturing process. Post-addition is possible too.

Storage and Handling

EDAPLAN LA 452 is not sensitive to freezing. For better handling it should be stored between 15 and 25 °C. During storage the product can separate into two phases. Consequently it must be stirred well before use. The minimum shelf life in closed containers is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
