ADDITOL® XL 204

High pigment loading without increase in viscosity. Reduction of dispersing time. For air drying and stoving solvent-borne paints and for water dilutable paint systems.

In difference to Additol XL 203, Additol XL 204 is an anion-active antifloating agent and can be used in solvent- and water-borne paint systems. It is not recommended for acid curing paints.

• Additol XL 204 prevents the floating of titanium dioxide in conjunction with organic or inorganic colored pigments. It can be employed in solvent-borne and water dilutable air drying and stoving paint systems. Additol XL 204 affords higher pigment loading of the paint system and pigment pastes without causing the viscosity rise usual with such products and, at the same time, reduces dispersing time.
• The recommended level may range from 0.1 to 1.5 % on total paint. Level on pigments: inorganic pigments: 0.5 - 2.5 % organic pigments: 1.5 - 5.0 %
• Levels of addition in water dilutable air drying and stoving system may range from 1 to 6 % on pigments. The figures given here may serve as a guide for extensive trials to find the optimum in dosage and effect to save costs.

Additol XL 204 should be milled togethter with the pigments in order to obtain the full effect.
