Coatings World - October 2011

• BYK-1711
New silicone and mineral oil-free poly-
meric defoamer for waterborne coatings,
BYK-1711 is a perfectly balanced addi-
tive. It is very efficient at low dosage lev-
els but still compatible, and requires low
to medium shear forces for incorporation.
BYK-1711 is recommended in general in-
dustrial, automotive and wood and furni-
ture applications.

Modaflow coatings additives help formula-
tors optimize performance, paint process-
ing, appearance, application and stability.

• Additol XW 6535 The universal, ultra low VOC pigment grinding medium for both waterborne and solventborne coatings used in decorative and light industrial coatings, Additol XW 6535 addresses the needs for a truly universal pigment concentrate system that sustains the properties of the original coating. Tinting pastes made with Additol XW 6535 are used in both point-of-sale and factory tinting machines. Applications in all decorative, DIY and light industrial coatings enable processing flexibility and economic advantages.

• Additol XL 6526
The new benchmark in flow and leveling
for transportation coatings, Additol XL
6526 is a 100% solids additive for high
solids acrylic clear coats and topcoats
used in automotive, refinish and heavy
equipment. It has the unique combination
of effectiveness at low dosage and com-
patibility. At just 0.1% on formulation, it
allows for extremely smooth, defect-free,
orange peel-free coatings without sacrific-
ing recoatability and adhesion.

Additives offered: HASE thickeners, HEUR thickeners, microspheres, surface-active agents, surfactants and dispersing agents (nonionic), surfactants and dispersing agents, texturizing agents, associative thickeners, celluosics, viscosity modifiers, wetting agents

• ACRYSOL DR-110 Rheology Modifier ACRYSOL DR-110 rheology modifier is a new, cost-effective alternative to hy-drophobically-modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (HMHEC) for thickening a full range of waterborne latex coatings. ACRYSOL DR-110 rheology modifier is effective at building viscosity in formulations from flat to semigloss and across all binder types, offering desirable application and feel properties to such coatings, while also having the cost advantage of better efficiency and the manufacturing ease of an all-liquid product.

• ECOSURF LF Surfactant
ECOSURF LF surfactants offer high per-
formance and low foam in APEO-free for-
mulations. For color acceptance and
pigment wetting, they’re comparable to
our best APEO offerings. Plus, ECOSURF
LF Surfactants are readily biodegradable.
They even offer additional foam control
during pigment dispersion through cloud
point defoaming.

• Dow Corning 205SL Additive, Dow
Corning 204SL Additive and Dow Corn-
ing 401LS Additive
Multipurpose additives (slip, leveling, hand
feel and defoaming) that provide a range of
solubilities and other characteristics at low
addition levels enabling formulators to de-
velop tailored solutions for optimized per-
formance in multiple resin systems and
applications. Effective on wood, plastic
coatings, inks and overprint varnishes in
solventborne, waterborne and UV coatings.
