Deuterol 201 E is a defoaming dispersing agent for fillers and pigments in water soluble and water miscible primers and lacquers. The wetting effect of Deuterol 201 E in primers and one-coat lacquers, which are applied to badly degreased metal substrates, considerably improves the adhesion of the coating film to the metal substrate. The product also shows a defoaming effect in the manufacture as well in the processing of water dilutable systems.

Because of its cationic character and the extreme polarity of Deuteron LE 80, the electric resistance of organic solvents and their mixtures is considerably reduced – even when using small quantities.

Deuteron LE 80 is soluble in all common lacquer solvent mixtures, sometimes being slightly cloudy.

Deuteron LE 80 can be used in air-drying primers and coatings, baking enamels, 2-compound systems and wood finishes.

ADDITOL XL 180 enhances intercoat adhesion of stoving paints and fast drying air-drying paints on electrodeposition primers, white electrodeposition paints and primers. ADDITOL XL 180 is dilutable with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons,ketones, esters and alcohols, and is in its form of delivery not dilutable with water. ADDITOL XL 180 improves intercoat adhesion between finish and primer. ADDITOL XL 180 has excellent compatibility characteristics with many binder systems and thus affords universal use. In water dilutable systems ADDITOL XL 180 is best used neutralized with amines, preferably triethylamine. Effects of ADDITOL XL 180 are increased adhesion and enhanced flexibility of stoving alkyd or acrylic resin paints to primers and white paints applied b electrodeposition. In single coats on iron and aluminium, ADDITOL XL 180 does not seem to be efficience. ADDITOL XL 180 as well as its salts can be combined with non-ionic and anionic substances with interfacial activity. Compatibility with cationic substances, however, should be checked individually to prevent mutual flocculation and reduction of gloss. Experience so far has neither shown impaired weathering resistance nor reduced storage stability in connection with the use of ADDITOL XL 180.
