Special Properties and Uses

Flow modifier for solvent borne industrial coatings. The use of Modaflow Epsilon can significantly improve following coating properties:

  • Improve flow and leveling
  • Reduce pinholes, fisheyes, craters and orange peel
  • Improve substrate wetting
  • Maintain or improve substrate adhesion
  • Defoam and aid in air release
  • Facilitate pigment dispersion


Modaflow Epsilon is also effective in eliminating pinholes and craters in epoxy, polyester, hybrid, urethane, and acrylic based coating systems. Modaflow Epsilon does not contain silicone ingredients. Quantity to be added: 0.15 - 2.5 % on solid resin.
