Allnex unveils Additol XW 6565 grinding medium for WB and solventborne architectural paints

Using the new universal Additol XW 6565 grinding medium from Allnex, manufacturers of water-based and solventborne architectural paints can develop high-performance tinted formulations, while increasing process flexibility and reducing costs.
Additol XW 6565 is a universal, glycol-free, polymeric multifunctional grinding medium that has been specially developed for the production of low-VOC point-of-sale (POS) and in-plant colourants. It shows optimised pigment loading, outstanding weather durability and excellent colour performance. It is also eco-label compliant for outdoor and indoor paint varnishes (2009/543/EC) (2009/544/EC).
Importantly, it allows the dispersion and stabilisation of pigments without negatively influencing the final paint properties and can be used in all direct grinding or slurry processes. It is modified with strong anchoring groups and advantages include: selective drying capacity, crosslinking ability, anti-settling and anti-floating effects and compatibility with solventborne and water-based systems. Air dry paints formulated with Additol XW 6565 also benefit from improved humidity and blocking resistance.
