In building
Hydrophobic treatment
- Control of the surface hydrophobicity and beading effects
- Reduction of the water absorption
Substrate wetting
- Improvement of the substrate and pore wetting
- Prevention of pinholes, craters and other surface defects
- Increase and improvement of the intercoat adhesion in multi-coat systems
Defoaming and deaerating
- Foam prevention during pigment grinding and let-down
- Defoaming during the application
Surface design
- Prevention of orange peel effects
- Improvement of the levelling and surface properties
- Increase of the surface slip
- Improvement of the scratch resistance
- Control of the overcoatability
Rheology
- Targeted adjustment of the production and printing rheology
- Improvement of the storability through reduced pigment and filler sedimentation
