It is an additive based on polyacrylate technology to provide excellent ageing resistance to coatings. CRAYVALLAC® FLOW-450 is also used as an adhesion promoter additive with excellent performance. CRAYVALLAC® FLOW-450 can furthermore successfully substitute classical defoamers within a formulation, demonstrating combined performance in terms of leveling and defoaming. CRAYVALLAC® FLOW-450 is easily incorporated into formulations due to its wide compatibility in most solvents. It is recommended to incorporate CRAYVALLAC® FLOW-450 in the mill-base in order to get maximum efficiency in terms of air release properties.
