Key benefits for can & coil coatings

Our range also consists of a wide variety of additives for can and coil coatings:

  • Rheology modifiers help prevent sagging, achieve top edge coating, and facilitate dispersion
  • Abrasion and scratch resistance agents are versatile and increase slip and scuff resistance
  • Flow and spread additives provide superior spreading as well as excellent surface impact and are compatible in many systems
  • Matting agents are ideal for satin finishes and appear transparent with thin coats
  • Dispersants are ideal for solvent-based can and coil coatings.

About our latest development

Crayvallac®  FLOW-200
High performance flow and levelling agents for the control of coating surface properties

Crayvallac® flow additives have been developed specifically to eliminate film surface defects that may
occur during the film formation.
The results of these enhancements are smoother films with fewer imperfections and a superior overall appearance when compared with the unmodified coating.
● Lowers slightly the surface tension of the coating
● Reduces the interfacial tensions
● Has a positive effect on gloss
