Coatings:
ADD-2040 has a very wide compatibility, which makes it extremely suitable for use in clear coatings. It is recommended in the following application systems:
• Vinyl, acrylate and chlorinated polymers
• 2-K PU and epoxy coatings
• Industrial and decorative finishes based on medium- or long-oil alkyd resins
• Stoving systems based on alkyd/melamine
• Epoxy floorings
To prevent foaming, ADD-2040 can be added prior to processing. If it is added to the finished product, care must be taken to ensure uniform distribution.
0.1-0.7% on total formulation weight
Printing Inks:
ADD-2040 is suited for solvent-based formulations. It can be used in solvent-based pigment bases and printing inks.
ADD-2040 is particularly effective in nitrocellulose/PU systems and may be used in gravure and flexographic printing.
ADD-2040 can be added in the premix stage prior to dispersion. If added post manufacture or press-side, care should be taken to ensure uniform distribution.
