ADDITOL® XL 203
ADDITOL® XL 203 stands as a versatile formulation, serving as a dispersant, wetting agent, and anti-floating agent. Proudly claiming to be NMP-free, APEO-free, and tin-free, this product boasts features such as high film thickness, circulation stability, high gloss, wet-on-wet properties, high pigment loading, and low pigment flotation. Tailored for enamel and solvent-borne coating applications, ADDITOL® XL 203 offers special properties, including high pigment loading without viscosity increase, reduced dispersing time, and enhanced gloss and leveling. Its application versatility extends to air drying and stoving solvent-borne paints, particularly for water-dilutable paint systems.

- Processing Information
Additol® XL 203 should be milled together with the pigments in order to obtain the full effect.
- Suggested Applications
Additol® XL 203 prevents the floating of titanium dioxide in conjunction with organic or inorganic colored pigments. It can be employed in solvent-borne and water dilutable air drying and stoving paint systems. Additol® XL 203 enhances gloss and leveling of paint films. Pigment loading of paints and pigment pastes can be increased without rises in viscosity. Dispersion time is reduced.; The recommended level may range from 0.1 to 1.5 % on total paint. Level on pigments: inorganic pigments: 0.5 - 2.5 %, organic pigments: 1.5 - 5 %.; The figures given here may serve as a guide for extensive trials to find the optimum in dosage and effect and to save costs. Since Additol® XL 203 is a cationic product it should not be used in conjunction with certain anionic products. Phase seperation occurs and Additol® XL 203 becomes ineffective at once. The compatibility should be determined by experiments. Additol XL® 203 can be combined with cationic and non-ionic products.
- Distinguishing Features
In difference to Additol® XL 204, Additol® XL 203 is a cationic-active antifloating agent and can be used in solvent- and waterborne paint systems. It is not recommended for acid curing paints.
