Allnex ADDITOL VXW 6374 Wetting Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of pigment systems is ADDITOL VXW 6374 especially effective for?

A: ADDITOL VXW 6374 is particularly effective for dispersing inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide and iron oxides, as well as many organic pigments commonly used in solventborne and high-solids coatings. Its molecular structure supports strong anchoring and steric stabilization in non-aqueous media.


Q2: Can ADDITOL VXW 6374 be used in waterborne systems?

A: ADDITOL VXW 6374 is primarily designed for solventborne and high-solids coating systems. It is not recommended for use in fully waterborne formulations due to its low water solubility and limited compatibility with aqueous dispersions.


Q3: How does ADDITOL VXW 6374 improve substrate wetting in industrial coatings?

A: It reduces surface tension at the liquid–substrate interface, promoting uniform film formation on low-energy or difficult-to-wet surfaces such as plastics, treated metals, and aged coatings. This helps minimize defects like craters, orange peel, and poor flow.


Q4: Is ADDITOL VXW 6374 compatible with common crosslinkers used in thermosetting coatings?

A: Yes, ADDITOL VXW 6374 demonstrates good compatibility with melamine formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, and blocked isocyanate crosslinkers typically employed in baking enamels and coil coatings. It remains stable during storage and does not interfere with curing reactions under standard processing conditions.
