Flow and leveling additives
Product name:
Borchi Gol LA 200
Attributes/Comments:
Borchi Gol LA 200 is an additive based on a modified siloxane which provides good slip performance and reduces embedded air bubbles (air release) in cured films. In addition, leveling performance during the application as well as scratch resistance is achieved. Borchi Gol LA 200 is suitable for all decorative and industrial paint and coatings, in particular for 2-pack waterborne polyurethane systems.
Product name:
Borchi Gol LA 232
Attributes/Comments:
Borchi Gol LA 232 is a novel silicone additive in the market which offers above average properties regarding surface slip reduction of cured films, constructed in a similar way to Borchi Gol LA 200, small quantities are required to obtain sufficient and constant low slip numbers, thus the risk of losing interact adhesion can be ruled out. Borchi Gol LA 232 is highly compatible in multiple performance coatings.
