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
