High-efficiency surface control additive Nova SC103
Nova SC103 is a non-silicone surface control additive engineered to minimize pigment flooding, flocculation, and color separation in solvent-based coatings. It also enhances film leveling, improving gloss, color consistency, and smoothness—especially in metallic and pearlescent finishes.
Formulated with high-activity flow-modifying compounds, Nova SC103 offers excellent resin compatibility and is designed for systems where silicone additives may negatively affect adhesion, clarity, or recoat ability.
Aplikasi
- Metallic & pearlescent automotive basecoats
- PU and NC wood finishes
- Solvent-based alkyd topcoats and synthetic enamels
- High-gloss industrial topcoats
- Systems sensitive to silicone contamination or requiring recoat ability
Key Benefits & Market Value
- Anti-Flooding Performance
Prevents pigment separation and floating in multi-pigment systems (e.g., TiO₂ + organic colors or metallics). - Enhanced Leveling & Flow
Improves surface uniformity, reduces edge crawling, and supports smooth film formation. - Non-Silicone System
Maintains intercoat adhesion and avoids cratering or recoat problems often linked to silicone-based additives. - Improved Metallic Orientation
Particularly effective in automotive basecoats for enhanced flake alignment and visual clarity. - Low Dosage Efficiency
Active content >95%, delivering performance at minimal use levels—cost-effective and easy to handle.
