Coating additives are an important component of coating formulations. Although their dosage is usually small (0.1%~5%), they have a significant impact on the storage stability, application performance, film-forming effect, and final film properties of coatings.The selection principle of additives for coatings: high efficiency, minimal negative impact, high cost-effectiveness, and compliance with environmental requirements.The following is the selection method and key considerations for coating additives.     1. Main categories and functions of coating additives Classification Function Example Dispersant Improve pigment dispersibility, prevent sedimentation and flocculation Polyacrylate and Phosphate Esters Wetting Agent Reduce surface tension and improve substrate wettability Organic Silicon and Alkynediol Defoamer Restrain the production of foam and reduce coating defects Mineral Oils; Organic Silicon Leveling Agent Improve coating leveling and reduce orange peel and brush marks Acrylic Ester and Organosilicon Thickener Adjust the viscosity of the coating to prevent sagging and settling Cellulose Ether, Polyurethane, Bentonite Anti-Settling Agent Prevent pigment settling and improve storage stability Gas Phase Silica, Polyamide Wax Cure Accelerator Accelerate coating curing and improve reaction efficiency Organic Tin, Amine Cure Accelerator Prevent UV degradation and improve weather resistance UV Absorbers, Hals Fungicide Inhibit mold growth and extend coating life Isothiazolinones, Benzimidazoles Adhesion Promoter Improve the adhesion between the coating and the substrate Silane coupling agent, epoxy phosphate ester   2. Key factors in additive selection (1) Coating system (water-based/solvent-based/UV curing) l Water-based coatings: water-soluble or water-dispersible additives (such as BYK-190 dispersant, Tego Wet 270 wetting agent) must be selected. l Solvent-based coatings: oil-soluble additives (such as BYK-161 leveling agent, BYK-011 defoamer) must be selected. l UV curing coatings: photoinitiator-compatible additives (such as Tego Rad 2100 leveling agent) must be selected. (2) Coating type (primer/topcoat/clear coat/colored paint) l Primer: Focus on adhesion promoters and rust inhibitors (such as zinc phosphate). l Topcoat: Key considerations include leveling agents, matting agents (such as silica matting powder), and weather resistant additives. l Color paint: water-based paint dispersant, anti settling agent. (3) Construction method (spray coating/brush coating/roller coating) l Spray coating: Low foaming additives and leveling agents are required. l Brush coating/roller coating: anti sagging agents and anti splash agents are required.   3.Environmental and performance requirements Demand Recommended Additives Weatherability Uv Absorbent+Hals High Gloss Leveling Agent+Defoamer Matte/Frosted Matte Powder+Anti Settling Agent Anti-Bacteria   Mold Inhibitor+Algae Inhibitor High Adhesion Epoxy Phosphate Ester+Silane Coupling Agent   4.Verify long-term stability Perform accelerated aging testing (such as storing at 40 degrees for 30 days) to observe whether: l Settlement (adjust anti settling agent) l Viscosity change (adjusting thickener) l Decreased defoaming performance (hydrolysis of defoamers)   5.Common problems and solutions Common Problem Possibility Analysis Solution Ideas Shrinkage Of Coating Film Incompatible Leveling Or Defoaming Agents Replace With Compatible Additives Pigment Sedimentation Insufficient Dispersant/Anti Settling Agent Add Anti Settling Agent Poor Leveling Performance Improper Selection Of Leveling Agent Switching To Organic Silicon Leveling Agent Too Much Foam Wetting Agents Have Strong Foaming Properties Adjust Defoamer Poor Adhesion Insufficient Wetting Of The Substrate Add Adhesion Agent   6.General selection ideas   The material determines the performance, and the reasonable selection of additives can significantly improve the application defects of coatings. It is recommended to optimize the formula through small-scale experiments and pay attention to the synergistic effect between additives. Only by applying them correctly can they be fully utilized.   China AAB Industry Technology Group offers a comprehensive portfolio of additives and polymers, as well as detailed one-to-one customer service to meet specific needs.

In the vast cosmos of coating technology, countless new products have come and gone like ephemeral flowers. Yet one star has traversed a century while retaining its brilliance—nitrocellulose (nitrate cellulose). When discussing innovation, people often overlook classics that have stood the test of time. As one of the cornerstones of modern industrial coatings, nitrocellulose has not only endured but thrived. Its unparalleled rapid drying, exceptional decorative properties, and high cost-effectiveness continue to make it the “efficiency engine” in contemporary manufacturing systems. Why does nitrocellulose remain the formulation engineer's go-to choice—from high-end musical instrument lacquers to trendy nail polishes, from classic toys to precision plastic components? The answer lies in its century-proven, irreplaceable core advantages: 1. Unparalleled Drying Speed Nitrocellulose boasts the highest solvent release and drying speed among all film-forming resins. It achieves surface dryness within minutes or even seconds, drastically shortening production cycles, reducing dust adhesion, and boosting production line efficiency. In manufacturing where “time is money,” this is the ultimate trump card. 2. Stunning Decorative Effects Nitrocellulose coatings deliver exceptional gloss, richness, and clarity, fully showcasing the substrate's texture and color. Its excellent flow properties create an extremely flat, smooth mirror-like finish that meets the highest aesthetic demands. 3. Exceptional Hardness and Scratch Resistance Nitrocellulose forms a tough, scratch-resistant coating that provides a robust protective layer, ensuring the product's appearance remains pristine over time. 4. Superior Application Ease and Recoatability It is easy to spray and offers excellent workability. Additionally, strong interlayer solubility and adhesion facilitate touch-ups and recoating, significantly lowering application barriers and operational complexity. 5. Unmatched Cost-Effectiveness Nitrocellulose systems often deliver the most competitive total cost while matching equivalent performance. This means you don't have to pay a premium for superior performance—it's the perfect solution for achieving high performance at low cost. 6. Current Primary Applications of Nitrocellulose: Wood Coatings: The ultimate choice for high-end furniture, musical instruments (e.g., guitars, pianos), and crafts. It dries rapidly to form a highly transparent, high-gloss protective film that perfectly showcases wood's natural grain. 7. Automotive Refinish In fast-paced body shops, nitrocellulose-based quick-drying primers and topcoats significantly boost workstation throughput, ensuring efficiency. 8. Leather coatings Used on leather shoes, handbags, etc., providing a glossy, wear-resistant, and flexible coating. 9. Metal coatings Widely applied to toys, stationery, hardware fittings, etc., delivering vibrant colors and rapid protection. 10. Inks and cosmetics From flexible packaging inks to classic nail polish, nitrocellulose offers fast drying, high gloss, and excellent film-forming properties. Due to its outstanding physical and chemical properties, nitrocellulose finds extensive applications in modern industry. However, its flammable and explosive nature subjects it to government regulations, imposing production, storage, and transportation constraints that limit its use. Leveraging our expertise in cellulose product development, we have developed next generation of Nitrocellulose CAB-T881—a novel alternative to nitrocellulose.
