Suitable for solvent-free & water-based systems, primers & fillers (also for automobile industry), varnishes, exterior & interior emulsion-, silicate- & industrial paints, and wood- & foil coatings.

• It is quick-drying and provides excellent dispersion properties, slight flatting- and spacer effect in pigments.
• In unpigmented coatings, it exhibits good transparency with a slight yellow tinge.
• It possesses high solids content as well as abrasion-, weathering- & scratch resistance.
• It has moderate yield point, pseudoplasticity, soft sediment, low abrasiveness and very low tendency to settle.
• It provides a high filling ratio, good wet edge strength and breathability.
• Sillitin® Z 86 is used in metal (primer-surfacer)-, corrosion protection (solvent-based epoxy, general polyaspartic)-, electrophoretic-, powder- and plastic- (soft-feel & primers) coatings.
