Due to its chemical structure, EFKA® FL 3740 modifies the surface tension of the coatings. It also eliminates or reduces cratering, fish-eyes and orange peel; improves the flow, dispersion and floating behaviour, prevents air entrapment and optimizes wetting of the substrate. EFKA® FL 3740 is also ideally suited to be used in the manufacture of powder coatings or binders for powder coatings. For the preparation of a master batch, it is recommended to use a mixing of 9 parts of polyester resin with 1 part EFKA® FL 3740. This mixture is perfectly suited for direct application in the premix and extrusion process after melting, homogenization, cooling and granulation. The drawbacks of leveling agents applied on SiO2 are avoided. In particular, pigmented and transparent powder coatings with excellent levelling properties are obtained for the production of weatherproof powder coatings. view less | |

It improves mar-resistance, slip and smoothness, decreases the tendency to floating of pigments and the sensitivity to air-draughts. EFKA® SL 3031 is compatible with all medium- to high-polarity solventbased systems. In unsaturated polyesters, e.g., UV-curable, EFKA® SL 3031 improves slip and smoothness of the surface with no influence on curtain stability when applied by curtain coating. The sensitivity to air drafts when sprayed or poured will be reduced by EFKA® SL 3031. This product also improves leveling and mar resistance and acts as an antiblocking agent. This is particularly advantageous in PUR systems based on hydroxyl acrylics. Due to its high surface activity, EFKA® SL 3031 can interfere with intercoat adhesion when recoated without sanding. If air is introduced by the application equipment, small amounts of defoamers such as EFKA® PB 2020 and EFKA® SI 2022 should be added. view less | |
