ADDITOL® XL 121 by allnex enhances mar resistance and leveling of silicone modified air drying and stoving alkyd resins. It is a silicone containing paint additive supplied as low-viscous solution. It reduces the surface resistance of the paint film. It prevents film structures and thus enhances film performance in general. It is suited for solvent-borne paints, thermosetting acrylic resins, nitrocellulose paints, acid curing paints and alkyd-acrylate isocyanate systems. It shows better overspray acceptance. The quantity of ADDITOL® XL 121 ranges from 0.1-0.5% on paint as a guide. The shelf life of this product is 730 days.

ADDITOL® XW 329 by allnex is silicone type paint additive to enhance mar resistance and leveling, particularly of water-dilutable paints. It improves the slip of the film surface and thus protects it from scratching & abrasion. It offers increased gloss and prevents film defects. The recommended usage level of ADDITOL® XW 329 is 0.1-0.3% on the finished paint. The shelf life of this product is 730 days.

ADDITOL® XL 122 by allnex is a silicone type paint additive to enhance mar resistance & slip and to improve flow and leveling in air drying and stoving paints. It contributes to the formation of flawless film surfaces with enhanced sheen. It is used to prevent blocking in coil & can coatings and furniture enamels. ADDITOL® XL 122 can be employed with alkyd resin, thermosetting acrylic paints, nitrocellulose lacquers, acid curing paints, alkyd-isocyanate paints and acrylics isocyanate enamels. Its recommended usage level is 0.05-0.3%. It has a shelf life of 730 days at storage temperature up to 25°C.
