- Suggested Uses
Additol XW 376 is effective in large to fine particle size dispersions based on polyvinyl acetate, PVC, acrylates and their copolymers as well as alkyd resin emulsions.. It is easily emulsified and also incorporated in low viscosity systems. Additol XW 376 is equally useful in deaeration during pigment grinding and in the filling process; it is shear stable and alkali resistant up to pH = 13.
- Special Properties
Can be used in most waterborne emulsion paints and adhesives, and in synthetic resin-bound renderings. Good storage stability even at elevated temperatures.
- Country Availability
- Brazil
- Canada
- China (Mainland)
- Mexico
- USA
- Storage and Handling
At temperatures up to 25 °C storage stability packed in original containers amounts to at least 365 days. At temperatures below - 10 °C Additol XW 376 can freeze to a solid mass. After thawing Additol XW 376 is ready for use again.
- Processing Information
We recommend the addition of 0.05 - 0.5 % Additol XW 376, calculated on finished paint. In the case of incorporation in low-viscosity products the Additol XW 376 must be well stirred in. The optimum effect of the defoamer should be determined by preliminary trials in the system to be used.
- Distinguishing Features
Additol XW 376 is pre-emulsified and therefore it can be more easily distributed in low-viscosity systems than Additol XW 375 and Additol XW 372
