ADDITOL® XW 6580
ADDITOL® XW 6580 is a leveling and substrate wetting agent formulated with a polyether-modified siloxane, suitable for both waterborne and solvent-borne paint systems. This additive is designed to reduce surface tension effectively, leading to improved substrate wetting and leveling, without contributing to foam stabilization. It is labeled as tin-free, monomer-free, and APEO-free. ADDITOL® XW 6580 offers features such as circulation stability, wet-on-wet properties, multi-substrate adhesion, improved edge coverage, low film thickness, improved long-wave reduction, and reduced surface preparation. It finds applications in solvent-borne coatings, clearcoats, and waterborne coatings.

- Special Properties
Additol XW 6580 is a leveling and substrate wetting agent based on a polyether modified siloxan for waterborne and solventborne paint systems. Strong surface tension reduction improves substrate wetting and leveling without foam stabilization. Additol XW 6580 does neither increase surface slip, nor influence recoat ability. If higher surface slip is required, we recommend the additional usage of Additol XL 123 N.
