High-efficiency surface control additive Nova SC102
Nova SC102 is a high-efficiency surface control additive developed to improve slip, flow, and anti-crater performance in solvent-based paints, coatings, and printing inks. Formulated using silicone-modified polymers in a controlled aromatic carrier, it enhances surface smoothness while reducing surface tension and minimizing surface defects like cratering, pinholes, and orange peel.
Designed for use across a wide range of solvent-based resins, Nova SC102 offers exceptional slip performance without affecting intercoat adhesion—making it ideal for systems requiring recoat ability, clarity, or overprint compatibility.
Applications
- PU & NC wood coatings (clear gloss or pigmented)
- Solvent-based automotive topcoats and basecoats
- Industrial metal enamels and maintenance coatings
- Screen, gravure, and flexographic inks
- Adhesives and plastic coatings requiring smooth finishes
- High-slip topcoats (cosmetic, consumer electronics, plastics)
Key Benefits & Market Value
- High Slip Efficiency
Improves scratch and mar resistance, enhances tactile smoothness, and increases surface slip in topcoats. - Crater & Surface Defect Control
effectively suppresses craters and flow disruptions, especially in solvent-sensitive applications. - Recoat ability & Overprint Stability
engineered to deliver slip and leveling without surface overbuild or intercoat issues. - Broad Resin Compatibility
PU, NC, alkyd, epoxy, vinyl, and acrylic systems—ideal for wood, metal, and plastic substrates.
