Q1: What is the primary function of ADDITOL XW 395 in coating and ink formulations?
A: ADDITOL XW 395 is a non-ionic polymeric wetting agent designed to improve substrate wetting, enhance pigment dispersion stability, and reduce surface tension in waterborne and solvent-borne systems. It supports uniform film formation and helps minimize defects such as craters or orange peel.
Q2: Is ADDITOL XW 395 compatible with high-solids or low-VOC formulations?
A: Yes, ADDITOL XW 395 is formulated for compatibility with modern low-VOC and high-solids systems, including acrylic, polyester, and alkyd-based resins. Its low foaming profile and good hydrolytic stability make it suitable for demanding environmental and performance requirements.
Q3: How should ADDITOL XW 395 be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the let-down or post-addition stage, after pigment grinding, to optimize wetting of pigments and fillers. Due to its polymeric nature, it generally does not interfere with rheology modifiers and can be used alongside common dispersants and defoamers.
Q4: Does ADDITOL XW 395 contribute to gloss or clarity in clear coats?
A: When used at recommended levels, ADDITOL XW 395 does not negatively impact optical properties. It supports high gloss retention and clarity in clear coat systems by promoting uniform surface coverage and minimizing interfacial defects.
Q5: What are typical dosage guidelines for ADDITOL XW 395?
A: Dosage depends on formulation composition and performance targets, but it is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to total formulation solids. Optimization through lab-scale testing is recommended for each specific system.
