ADDITOL® XL 6557

ADDITOL® XL 6557 is a crosslinkable polymeric grinding medium. It provides pigment wetting, low paste viscosity, and good pigment stabilization in pigment pastes. Finished coatings tinted with this product have high hardness, yellowing resistance, high gloss, good drying properties, and good water/weather resistance. It is recommended for solvent-borne industrial applications, such as coil coatings, marine and heavy duty anti-corrosive paints, agriculture, industrial wood, and other metal coatings.
