Product features and advantages

VOK®- FL 3440 reduces the surface tension of the paint system, so it is an auxiliary for wetting the substrate to avoid shrinkage. It is especially suitable for solvent based, solvent-free and water-based paint systems. In the pure aqueous lotion system (without organic solvent), there is no fluorine substitute VOK®- FL 3455 and VOK®- FL 349 shall be used preferentially.

Recommended dosage

0.1-0.5% auxiliary dosage (supply form) is based on the general formula - up to 1% in special cases.

The above recommended dosage is for reference

Good addition amount shall be determined through a series of tests.
