BECKOPOX® EM 2120W/45WA is an epoxy-amine-adduct dispersion in water, containing very small amounts of organic co-solvent. BECKOPOX® EM 2120W is suited to formulate water borne 1 pack anticorrosive primers and 1 pack single coats with good anticorrosive properties, especially on smooth steel. Due to the special character of BECKOPOX® EM 2120W, very fast drying coatings can be formulated. Pigments and extenders should be dispersed in a pigment paste since BECKOPOX® EM 2120W does not possess sufficient shear stability. Organic solvents in the formulation should be added to the pigment paste or should be diluted with water before adding to EM 2120.

ADDITOL XW 395 Enhances surface properties of the films and prevents film defects like insufficient wetting and structured surfaces owing to impurities. ADDITOL XW 395 is an additive specially designed for Resydrol paint systems and, compatibility provided, for other waterborne paint systems. Considering the levels and restrictions given below ADDITOL XW 395 can be used in any water dilutable paint with the exception of electrodeposition paints. ADDITOL XW 395 prevents film defects, such as craters and pin holes or can remedy poor wetting owing to impurities brought into the aqueous paint during preperation or processing. Insufficiently degreased metal is the main cause for such troubles. With ADDITOL XW 395 wetting problems are avoided. It should be noted that film defects arising from silicone oils in many cases cannot be prevented with ADDITOL XW 395. ADDITOL XW 395 prevents floating of pigments, striation, orange peel, etc. and improves the film surface in general. ADDITOL XW 395 at the recommended levels, does not impair the physical properties of the stoved film. In primers ADDITOL XW 395 may cause a certain degree of gloss. Additions of ADDITOL XW 395 may adversely influence the effect of antifoaming agents, on the other hand, it can remedy infavourable effects of the antifoams. In aqueous paints for spray application ADDITOL XW 395 can be used without precautions, while in dipping or flow coating paints ADDITOL XW 395 must be carefully balanced with the antifoams normally present.
