PAT-ADD FL 9
PAT-ADD FL 9 is a liquid flow and anti-cratering additive for industrial solvent-borne coatings and inks. It is also a very efficient film surface tension modifier. Shelf life: 24 months.Benefits:Exhibits defoaming activity and contributes to the formation of smooth filmsFree from imperfections, such as pinholes, orange peel, waviness, benard cells, poor substrate coverage and cratersEnsures high distinctness of image (DOI)Ensures high transparency in lacquers and clearsActive solids are thermally stableImproves flow at the top-layer of the drying film through adjustment of viscosity (contributing to optimal rheological behavior)Equalizes surface tension variations across the paint filmMay be used alone or in conjunction with strong film surface tension reducing levelling agents, such as Pat-Add LE 1010 or LE 1020 when additional film surface tension reduction is requiredSilicone- and fluorine-freeTypical Applications:It is effective in a wide range of paint formulations including 2K, stoving enamels, can coatings and air-dry industrial paints based on EP, acrylics, TPA, NC and PE
