ADDAPT® PolySurF™ HPH

ADDAPT® PolySurF™ HPH by ADDAPT Chemicals is a solvent-free UV-curable additive. It can act as a polymerizable hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant and/or co-polymerizable plasticizer. It is a mixture of methacrylated mono-and di-phosphate esters modified with hydrophilic moieties. It is compatible with polyacrylates, polyesters and PVC. It offers easy handling and very good levelling and wetting properties. It improves adhesion to metal surfaces in UV-curable systems, wetting of substrates like wood and metal and storage and mechanical stability. It reduces grit building and foam formation. It gives no migration of nonionic surfactant, improved wet-scrub resistance, improved adhesion to metal, and high yellowing resistance even after enamel application, flame retardant properties and some degree of cross-linking without gel formation. ADDAPT® PolySurF™ HPH is used in paints, lacquers and printing inks. Recommended usage level is 0.5-2.5 wt% based on monomer.
