Paint Auxiliary Chemicals

Paint additives are special chemical components used to enhance the performance of paints, improve their properties, and facilitate ease of application. Below is information on the most commonly used paint additives:

Dispersion Agents: Dispersion agents help disperse pigments in solvents. This contributes to a more homogeneous and balanced color in the paint and a smoother surface.

Flow Control Agents: These agents are used during paint application to ensure the paint spreads evenly on the surface. This results in a smoother, more homogeneous paint film and makes application easier.

Alkyd Dryers: Dryers are used to accelerate the drying time of the paint film after application. They can also be used to enhance the film strength and hardness of the paint. At Kimteks Chemistry, we strive to offer environmentally friendly products. Therefore, our range includes cobalt-free alkyd dryers. These dryers provide high performance and quality without containing potentially harmful cobalt compounds.

Antifoaming Agents: Antifoaming agents are used during paint application to prevent foaming. This ensures the paint is applied homogeneously and results in a smooth paint film.

Anti-Sedimentation Agents: These agents prevent the sedimentation of pigments within the paint. This contributes to a longer shelf life for the paint and helps maintain a homogeneous film.

Rheology Modifiers: Additives used to control the viscosity, fluidity, and spreadability of paints.
