Please contact your local Clariant representative for the latest material safety data sheet and regulatory status.
Wetting agents are added to waterborne
coatings to improve the wetting of the
coated surface and to improve the stability
of the paint formulation. Further benefits
such as increased open-time, defoaming
effect or improved compatibility with
pigments and other paint components can
be achieved by selecting the right performance additive.

Clariant offers a technology based on the
inorganic composite of silver chloride on
titanium dioxide, delivering a preservative
active with truly beneficial properties. The
active substances are silver ions which
interact with the microorganisms resulting
in a range of effects from growth inhibition
and loss of infectivity to cell death.
