Additol XW 329 is a silicone resin supplied as low viscous solvent containing liquid. Additol XW 329 enhances the slip of the film surface and thus protects it from scratching and abrasion. Furthermore, Additol XW 329 improves leveling of the film and prevents film defects. Thus the surface quality in general is improved. In many cases gloss is also enhanced.
Additol XW 329 can be employed in water dilutable paints of any type. Reduced intercoat adhesion has not been experienced with the use of Additol XW 329. The effect of Additol XW 329 varies with the formulation of the paint. A level of 0.1 - 0.3 % of Additol XW 329 on the finished paint may serve as a guide.
- Processing Information
In order to obtain thorough distribution in the paint it is recommended to add Additol XW 329 prior to final dilution with the solvents and prior to adjusting the final color tone.
