In building
Substrate wetting
- Improvement of the substrate and intercoat wetting
- Improvement of the spray pattern
- Prevention of pinholes, craters and other surface defects
- Increase and adjustment 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
- Control of the overcoatability
- Increase of the surface slip
- Improvement of the scratch resistance
- Modification of the feel
Rheology
- Improvement of the storability through reduced pigment and filler sedimentation
