- Suggested Uses
Additol VXW 6374 is a suitable wetting agent for neutral as well as amine neutralized waterborne coatings systems. It is highly effective for alkyd resin emulsions, acrylics, polyesters, epoxies, UV curing backbone resin systems, polyurethane emulsions as well as standard emulsions designed to formulate quality coating systems.. Additol VXW 6374 is also suited for the preparation of pigment pastes containing no binders.

- Gravure Ink
- Special Properties
Additol VXW 6374 effectively improves wetting of organic and inorganic pigments in all aqueous coating systems.. Additol VXW 6374 reduces the grind viscosity and prevents pigment reflocculation during formulated paint storage.
- Storage and Handling
At temperatures from 5 °C to 25 °C storage stability packed in original containers amounts to at least 730 days.. Synthetic resins containing water may freeze or get inhomogeneous at temperatures below 0 °C. By this the product will not suffer any damage, but the necessary regeneration requires extended heat treatment at 40 - 50 °C with continuous stirring. It is therefore recommended to ensure frostproof storage of such products.
- Processing Information
Additol VXW 6374 must be milled together with the pigments. It is recommended to add Additol VXW 6374 to the resin base prior to adding the pigments.; The recommended dosage on pigment is:; for inorganic pigments 1.0 - 10.0 %; for organic pigments 10.0 - 40.0 %.; The optimum dosage is related to the entire system mix and should be determined by careful laboratory evaluation.; Foam generation in the milling base can be prevented by using suitable defoamers such as Additol VXW 6356, Additol VXW 6210, Additol VXW 4973 or Additol VXW 4926. Blends of Additol XW 390 or Additol VXW 4971 promotes better flow avoiding surface defects.
