Key benefits for automotive coatings 

  • Rheology modifiers are highly recommended for polyester sealants, topcoats, primers or primers, providing reduced sedimentation and sagging

  • Flow and spread additives improve the surface appearance of primers and primers
  • Dispersants offer exemplary innovation and efficiency for solvent-based coatings, resulting in a superior strong color.
