ADDITOL® VXL 6212
- CASE Ingredients Features
- High GlossHigh Pigment Loading
ADDITOL® VXL 6212 is a cationic, highly molecular resin-like wetting agent designed to enhance the dispersion and wetting properties of both inorganic and organic pigments in formulations. This versatile additive is well-suited for a range of coatings, including automotive OEM coatings, marine coatings, vehicle refinish, and industrial coatings. Notably, ADDITOL® VXL 6212 aligns with eco-friendly considerations, being labeled as bisphenol A-free, formaldehyde-free, and benzyl alcohol-free. Its medium viscous liquid form ensures ease of incorporation into various formulations.

Additol VXL 6212 permits a higher pigmentation of the mill base without interfering viscosity increase and shortens the dispersing time. The ready pigment pastes and paints are distinguished by a high colloidal stability and do not tend to a reflocculation of the pigments. By using Additol VXL 6212, in solvent-containing acrylate systems, a stabilizing effect on the binder can be observed. The reactivity in baking paints and polyisocyanate cross-linking acrylic systems is not negatively affected by addition of Additol VXL 6212.

- Storage and Handling
At temperatures up to 25 °C storage stability packed in original containers amounts to at least 730 days. Opened vessels have to be closed immediately
- Processing Information
Additol VXL 6212 must be ground jointly with the pigments.; The recommended quantity to be added, calculated on pigment, is as follows: for inorganic pigments: 3.0 - 10.0 % for organic pigment: 10.0 - 50.0 %.; We recommend determining the optimum quantity of Additol VXL 6212 for each pigment or each pigment blend. Possible foam formation in the mill base may be prevented by an addition of Additol XL 490/50BAC. This additive improves the leveling at the same time.
