ADDITOL® VXW 4940 N
- CASE Ingredients Features
- High ReactivityImproved Hardness
ADDITOL® VXW 4940 N is a lead-free combination drier designed for water-dilutable applications, serving as a drying agent for oxidatively drying alkyd resin paints and acryl-alkyd hybrid systems. Widely applicable in automotive OEM coatings, marine coatings, decorative paints, wood coatings and finishes, and offset and lithographic printing, it enhances hardness and reactivity in formulations. Notably, it is labeled as tin-free, formaldehyde-free, NMP-free, and monomer-free, aligning with considerations for safer and environmentally friendly coatings.

- Storage and Handling
At temperatures up to 25 °C storage stability packed in original containers amounts to at least 365 days.. It is important to protect Additol VXW 4940 N from frost; at low temperatures it has therefore to be stored under frostproof conditions. Additol VXW 4940 N will be destroyed at temperatures below 0 °C.
- Processing Information
Although Additol VXW 4940 N may be added undiluted to the paint system, we recommend to carefully dilute it 1 : 1 with deionized water before incorporation. There is no possibility to dilute with glycolethers. Additol VXW 4940 N can be added during all stages of paint manufacturing, for critical systems adding to the mill base is recommended in order to avoid bits.
- Distinguishing Features
Additol VXW 4940 N is the nonylphenol ethoxylatefree version of Additol VXW 4940. Additol VXW 4940 N exhibits better touch and through drying properties in comparison to Additol VXW 6206. Incorporation into externally emulsified alkyds is better than with Additol VXW 4940.
- Special Properties and Uses
Additol VXW 4940 N can be used as drier for all water-dilutable, oxidatively drying alkyd resin paints. Especially recommendable is the usage of Additol VXW 4940 N for drying alkyd resin emulsions, e. g. Resydrol AY 586w, Resydrol AY 466w, Resydrol AZ 436w, because contrary to conventional driers a homogeneous distribution is provided and therefore a quick drying and most of all good drying stability can be achieved. Additol VXW 4940 N can also be used for acryl-alkyd hybrid systems.
