- Properties
PAT-ADD FL 9 is a very efficient film surface tension modifier. The mechanism is migration of PAT-ADD FL 9 to the applied film surface. This migration and surface concentration of the additive provides two reasons for improved film surface formation:. PAT-ADD FL 9 exhibits high efficiency, preventing orange peel, craters, pinholes, Bénard cells and poor substrate coverage. PAT-ADD FL 9 is suitable for pigmented as well as clear coating systems and may be used alone or in conjunction with strong film surface tension reducing leveling agents, such as Pat-Add LE 1010 or LE 1020 when additional film surface tension reduction is required.

- Addition and Dosage
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD FL 9 is system and application related. The product is best added during the let-down stage of manufacturing. PAT-ADD FL 9 is typically used between levels of 0.4 to 2.0% on the total weight of formulation. It is highly recommended to evaluate performance and compatibility empirically, applying close-to-practice test conditions. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual formulation and conditions.
