ADDAPT® PolySurF™ HPL

ADDAPT® PolySurF™ HPL by ADDAPT Chemicals is a solvent-free, UV-curable additive for paints, lacquers and printing inks. It acts as a polymerizable lipophilic non-ionic surfactant, a flame retardant and a polymerizable plasticizer for UV curable systems. It is a mixture of methacrylated mono-and di-phosphate esters modified with lipophilic moieties. It offers easy handling and very good levelling/wetting properties. It improves adhesion to metal surfaces, storage and mechanical stability. It reduces grit building and foam formation. It gives no migration of non-ionic surfactants and plasticizers. ADDAPT® PolySurF™ HPL provides improved wet-scrub resistance, improved adhesion to metal, high yellowing resistance even after enamel application and some degree of cross-linking without gel formation. Recommended dosage level is 0.5-2.5 wt% based on monomers for paint, lacquer & printing inks and 5 wt% for flame retardant.
