Air Release Agent for Water- and Solvent-Based Paints and Coatings

Borchi® Gol LA 200 is a polyether modified polysiloxane air release agent for thick layers. It is designed for use in water- and solvent-based paints and coatings. This additive solution is 100 % active and VOC-free.

 

Benefits of Air Release Agents

Releasing air in the coating prevents defects from occurring during application and curing. Borchi® Gol LA 200 helps destroy air bubbles formed in the film during application.

Borchi® Gol LA 200 provides foam control by avoiding microfoam formation at all production stages. Microfoam can cause defects throughout the film.

Air release agents like Borchi® Gol LA 200 provide improvements in substrate wetting, block and scratch resistance, and slip. They also provide higher gloss and less haze in formulations.

Borchi® Gol LA 200 is among our silicone-based defoamer, air release, and anti foam agents.

Applications

Borchi® Gol LA 200 is great for use in 2K-polyurethane and 2K-epoxy coatings. It prevents foam in industrial flooring, pipe, and storage tank coatings. Borchi® Gol LA 200 can also be used in decorative, automotive OEM, and automotive refinish coatings. This solution works well in spray paint applications.

  • Dosage

    The recommended dosage is 0.05 to 0.30 % of the total weight of the formulation depending upon the binder type and which property is being addressed. The exact dosage should be experimentally determined. Borchi® Gol LA 200 is easy to use and can be added at any stage of the formulation; however, we recommend adding it near the end of the formula. Do not exceed recommended dosages to prevent intercoat adhesion issues. Borchi® Gol LA 200 should be added as supplied into the system. However, premixes for water-based formulas can be made by blending this product with polyglycol ethers. Most common solvents can be used in the premix for solvent-based systems.

  • Storage

    Protect from the effects of weathering and light. Store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °C. Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product.

  • Safety

    Please refer to our safety data sheet for information relating to product safety.
