TENTATIVE PRODUCT DATA SPECIAL PROPERTIES AND USE

Additol XL 6557 provides pigment wetting, low paste viscosity, and good
Determined per batch: pigment stabilization in pigment pastes.
The suggested use is as grinding medium for pigment pastes. Combination
with co dispersants is strongly recommended to improve pigment
Dynamic Viscosity DIN EN ISO 3219 stabilization and mill base viscosity reduction.
dynamic viscosity [mPa.s] 1400 - 2600
(25 1/s; 23 °C) The polymer backbone of Additol XL 6557 is modified with pigment anchoring
groups to support pigment wetting; due to its resin-like structure it maximizes
Iodine Colour Number DIN 6162
the overall paint performance.
iodine colour number <= 10
The multifunctional drying and crosslinking concept allows co-crosslinking of
Acid Value DIN EN ISO 2114 the pigment pastes into 2K PUR or amino crosslinking baking systems.
acid value [mg KOH/g] <= 10 Further, if used inside an airdrying alkyd, the material supports surface
(solids) hardness via unsaturated double bounds.

Non-Volatile Matter DIN 55671 Finished coatings tinted with Additol XL 6557 have high hardness, yellowing
non-volatile matter [%] 68 - 72 resistance, high gloss, good drying properties, good
(120 °C; 5 min) mechanical properties, high water resistance and/or excellent weather
resistance.

In solvent borne industrial application such as coil coatings, marine and heavy
duty anti corrosive paints, agriculture, industrial wood, and other metal

PIGMENT PASTE PRODUCTION GUIDLINE

Premix full amount of ADDITOL® XL 6557, co dispersant , MODAFLOW Resin
and solvent on a dissolver for a few minutes. Add continually pigment under
stirring . Pre disperse for min. 15 min on a dissolver . Grind to particle size
below 5µm. Check color strength and mill to stable maximum color strength.
Temperature during grinding should be between 30-50°C or depending on the
maximum temperatures of the used pigments.
