GLASURIT 580-100 Antisilicone additive is an additive designed to combat defects such as craters and wetting defects that can occur due to the effects of silicones in painting processes. The anti-silicone additive is used to ensure a high-quality finish and a smooth surface, regardless of the type of paint used.
Main function:
Crater prevention: GLASURIT 580-100 Antisilicone additive effectively prevents the formation of craters, which are often caused by silicones, moisture or other undesirable substances present on the surface. Craters can be caused by improper surface preparation or by silicones and other chemicals remaining on the surface from previous treatments. This additive helps to ensure that the painting is smooth and defect-free.
Prevention of wetting defects: Wetting defects such as uneven paint drying areas or spots can be related to silicones present on the surface. GLASURIT 580-100 helps to avoid these problems and ensures a uniform coating.
Features and use:
Advantages:
To achieve the best results, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the amount of additive and proper mixing with the paint. GLASURIT 580-100 Antisilicone additive can be used at various stages of the work, but the best results are achieved when it is mixed into the paint before application to the prepared surface.
In 1888 Max Winkelmann laid the cornerstone for his company that spawned the world’s successful Glasurit automotive refinish brand. Since then, Glasurit has not only participated in the developments of the paint technologies but has also played a key role in shaping them, going down in paint history time and time again. One of the first paint products developed by Winkelmann was the paint color crystal white, an absolute innovation of its time. Up until then, it was usual in Germany to apply pigments and paint in two successive coats. Winkelmann’s revolutionary idea of combining pigments and binders in a single ready-for-use product made application much easier back in the day and also substantially increased the durability of the coating. This philosophy – developing products that make it easy for users to achieve first-class results – continues to serve as Glasurit’s basis for success today.
