- Suggested Uses
Additol XL 480 may be used with any type of paint material, e.g. on the basis of alkyd/melamine systems, acrylics, polyurethane systems, oil-free polyesters, etc. Additol XL 480 prevents surface defects of paint films. In most cases, the coemployment of Additol XL 480 helps to prevent craters, even caused by neighboring spray mists of other paints.. Further, film defects caused by applicational conditions, like poor leveling, uneven surface, etc. can be avoided. The use of Additol XL 480 affords higher security against surface defects on application.
