Depending on the type of additive, it is possible to optimize the production process of a coating, adjust application properties or systematically control the properties of the cured coating film. Wetting and dispersing additives affect pigment wetting and rapid development of tinting strength. Defoamers and deaerators ensure a foam-free and defect-free coating film. Surface additives, such as our glide and flow additives and our substrate wetting additives, produce uniform flow behavior and ideal surface smoothness. Evonik's comprehensive chemical and technological competencies form the basis for a varied range of additives. We make the most of Evonik's expertise in organically modified polysiloxanes and silicone resins. Tego – Adding Advantages. The TEGO® Phobe and TEGO® Protect product lines impart water repellency and provide the coating with, for example, an anti-graffiti effect and therefore easy to clean properties. · · · · · · · · · Deaerators Defoamers Wetting and Dispersing Additives Surface Control Additives Energy-Curable Additives Substrate Wetting and Anti-Cratering Additives Hydrophobing Agents Anti-Graffiti Additives Others TEGO Product Overview Additives page 5 Deaerators TEGO® Airex deaerators prevent the formation of air occlusions and pinholes in waterborne, solventborne and energycurable coatings.

In contrast to additives, the concentrations used range between 5.0 and 20.0% relative to the main binder. The two groups of TEGO co-binders are based on different technologies. They offer customized solutions for diverse tasks. TEGO® VariPlus are co-binders based on modified ketone-aldehyde resins. Their hard resin character provides the formulator with a simple means of increasing the hardness, gloss, anti-blocking properties and drying speed of printing inks and coatings. The hyperbranched polymeric structures yield low solution viscosities so that VOC levels are reduced. Selectively introduced functional groups make TEGO® VariPlus products ideally suited for pigment dispersions with high color strength; they also improve adhesion properties and are used to supplement the TEGO® AddBond product group in certain applications. TEGO® AddBond products are polyesters. Because of their special polymer structure and type of functional groups, they improve the bonding of coatings on plastics and metals. This improves corrosion resistance. This expertise, combined with a sound knowledge of interfacial chemistry, makes Evonik a strong partner for meeting the challenges of coating formulation. Tego – Adding Advantages. · TEGO® VariPlus · TEGO® AddBond TEGO Product Overview Co-Binders page 13 TEGO® VariPlus Several TEGO® VariPlus products can be used as pigment concentrate resins for the most diverse pigments. This enables excellent gloss to be obtained even at high pigment loading. Resins such as TEGO® VariPlus SK and TEGO® VariPlus CA, which contain hydroxyl groups, are also used for modification of binders. TEGO® VariPlus products are widely compatible hard resins used as co-binders in paints, lacquers, printing and other inks. They not only increase the solids content and accelerate touch-drying but also improve numerous properties such as hardness, gloss and film build. Adhesion on various substrates is increased, which together with its resistance to hydrolysis, enhances corrosion protection.

This distinguishes them from purely organic binders. Targeted variation of the organic groups (inter alia, alkyl and polyether) on the siloxane backbone results in compounds which, thanks to their broad property spectrum, can be used in many diverse areas of application. Their exceptional properties include excellent chemical resistance, good elasticity, excellent release characteristics and an especially high level of eco-compatibility. They are, for example, particularly suitable for high temperature resistant, weatherproof, or easy to clean pigmented coatings. TEGO specialty binders enable formulation of air-drying coating systems as well as the stoving enamels used on ovens, cookware and exhaust systems. In new product development, Evonik focuses heavily on eco-friendly products which also comply with the new requirements for VOCs. Thanks to our strong concentration on future coating technologies, we are already able to offer aqueous silicone resins for heat-resistant corrosion protection. Because of their highly crosslinked basic Tego – Adding Advantages. structure, TEGO silicone hybrid systems, silicone resins and silicone resin emulsions have proved particularly valuable as binders wherever especially high demands are made on the coating. · Silicone-Polyester Resins · Silicone Resins · Silicone-Epoxy Resins · Silicone-Modified Polyurethane Emulsion · Building Blocks TEGO Product Overview Specialty Binders page 17 Silicone-Polyester Resins Heat resistance up to 250 °C (formulation-dependent) With the SILIKOFTAL® brand, Evonik offers a wide range of silicone-polyester resins tailored to meet specific customer requirements.

TEGO Product Overview Specialty Binders page 21 TEGO Nanoresins Liquid silica-nanocomposites under the trade names NANOCRYL®, NANOPOX® and NANOPOL® are used in coatings mainly to permanently improve their surface hardness and thus increase scratch-resistance without impairing transparency and gloss. The portfolio of these products is usable for UV- and solventborne coatings, e.g. 2-component polyurethane and 2-component epoxy formulations as well. Incorporation is achieved with simple dispersion, and the need for bead milling is eliminated. In addition, coatings can be modified with silicone elastomer particles by the use of ALBIDUR®. This results in smoother surfaces and improved fracture toughness and release properties without affecting the glass transition temperature of the cured formulation. These liquid products can be stirred in easily into a formulation. The products are available for all common resin systems, e.g. UV- or 2-component epoxy coatings. For increasing coatings’ flexibility, ALBIFLEX® can be added to epoxy or UV-curable formulations. These co-binders do not affect the color of the formulation so the preferred use is in clear coat systems. Due to the liquid character of these products, they can be dispersed easily into the binder system.

As a result of the low viscosity, pigment loading can be significantly increased and a greater amount of pigment can be dispersed in each milling cycle. Therefore, maximum color intensity is achieved through optimum pigment wetting. Organic pigments Wetting and dispersing additives wet and stabilize the most diverse pigments. An effective reduction in viscosity with tailormade additives is the prerequisite for the manufacture of low VOC formulations. Wetting and dispersing additives for pigment wetting and stabilization for high solids coatings Carbon black Pigment wetting and stabilization Defoaming and Deaerating Defoamers/Deaerators for high solids coatings Increasing the solids content at working consistency and the limited choice of solvents significantly affect the deaerating characteristics of high solids coatings. Consequently, they are frequently prone to pinholing. Effective deaerating combined with good compatibility can be achieved with tailormade deaerators. Clear coats, in particular, demand the use of highly efficient and compatible deaerators. 1 Paint system Clear Pigmented Alkyd TEGO® Airex 931 TEGO® Flow 3701 TEGO® Flow ZFS 4601 TEGO® Airex 940 TEGO® Airex 944 TEGO® Glide 420 2-pack PU TEGO® Airex 950 TEGO® Airex 945 TEGO® Flow 3701 TEGO® Airex 944 TEGO® Airex 986 TEGO® Foamex N 2-pack PU polyaspartics TEGO® Airex 916 TEGO® Airex 962 TEGO® Airex 944 TEGO® Airex 962 TEGO® Glide 420 Polyester/melamine TEGO® Airex 931 TEGO® Airex 962 TEGO® Flow 3701 TEGO® Airex 986 TEGO® Airex 931 TEGO® Airex 936 2K Epoxy TEGO® Airex 940 TEGO® Airex 910 TEGO® Airex 900 TEGO® Airex 940 TEGO® Airex 944 TEGO® Foamex N silicone-free In the presence of VOC-exempt solvents, TEGO® Airex 936, TEGO® Airex 940, TEGO® Airex 962 and TEGO® Airex 916 are particularly advantageous. Slip and flow additives Slip and flow additives for high solids coatings Inadequate flow is a frequently observed weakness of high solids coatings. There is a tendency to use low molecular weight binders to achieve a low coating viscosity. The choice of solvent, which also has a major influence on flow, is limited by regulatory constraints. Depending on siloxane content and molecular weight, our additives promote the slip and flow/leveling characteristics of the finish and also effectively prevent cratering and foam formation. 1 Paint system Clear Pigmented Alkyd TEGO® Glide 450 TEGO® Glide B 1484 TEGO® Flow 3701 TEGO® Glide 420 TEGO® Glide A 115 TEGO® Flow ZFS 460 2-pack PU TEGO® Flow 425 TEGO® Flow 3701 TEGO® Glide 420 TEGO® Flow ZFS 460 2-pack PU polyaspartics TEGO® Wet 5051 TEGO® Glide B 1484 TEGO® Glide 420 TEGO® Wet 5051 Polyester/melamine TEGO® Flow 425 TEGO® Glide 100 TEGO® Flow 3001 TEGO® Glide 100 TEGO® Flow ZFS 460 2K Epoxy TEGO® Flow 370 TEGO® Glide 450 TEGO® Glide 406 TEGO® Glide 450 TEGO® Glide B 1484 TEGO® Flow ZFS 460 silicone-free In the presence of VOC-exempt solvents, TEGO® Flow 300, TEGO® Flow 370, TEGO® Glide 100 and TEGO® Glide 110 are particularly advantageous.

Due to their broad compatibility with a large number of binders, they are suitable for physically or oxidatively drying, thermosetting, or energy-curable formulations. TEGO® AddBond products improve adhesion to a number of substrates, including critical substrates like metals, minerals, and various types of plastics. Therefore, these can often be used in under coats and primers. They also improve intercoat adhesion so they are highly recommended even in multi-coat formulations. The adhesion power of the TEGO® AddBond products, combined with their excellent resistance to hydrolysis and their water-repellent properties, significantly improve corrosion protection in coatings. In special effect coatings, TEGO® AddBond improves the cohesion within the film layer. Also, these products help to improve gloss and flexibility.

Avoid storing TEGO® AddBond 1270 at temperatures below 10°C and TEGO® AddBond DS 1300 at temperatures below 5°C. Safety Any safety information needed may be obtained from our MSDS. Product Group TEGO® AddBond page 3 Properties and Applications General Because of free carboxyl groups present in the resins, reactions may occur with basic pigments (e.g., zinc oxide). This reaction could be beneficial and lead to a higher paint film density. On the other hand, this may lead to an undesirable increase in viscosity. Using smaller amounts of TEGO® AddBond or choosing a more compatible grade could be helpful. Adhesion may deteriorate if resins are used along with surfactants. Resins may be combined with polysiloxanes in the usual dosages. TEGO® AddBond HS TEGO® AddBond HS is a high solids co-binder. The use of TEGO® AddBond HS in paint formulations enables the VOC content to be reduced. The product results in excellent adhesion properties on metals and plastics. TEGO® AddBond LTW, LTW-B and 2220 ND The soft TEGO® AddBond LTW, LTW-B and 2220 ND have a flexibilizing effect and differ from one another primarily in their supply form. TEGO® AddBond 2220 ND is particularly suitable in the can coating and coil coating sectors. Systems based on saturated polyester resins, amine resins and isocyanate resins demonstrate better storage and processing properties. TEGO® AddBond LTH The swelling of hard TEGO® AddBond LTH in water is very minimal. Dissolved in plasticizers, it can be used in the manufacture of self-adhering organosols and plastisols. One noteworthy feature is that plasticizers do not migrate into TEGO® AddBond LTH when it is applied to plasticizer-containing PVC. In energy-curable systems TEGO® AddBond LTH tends to increase the curing speed. Furthermore, volume shrinkage that occurs during curing can be reduced. To achieve short dissolving times, heat should be used along with fast mixers in the production of resin solutions. A minimum dissolving temperature between 50° and 60°C is recommended for solvents and monomers. For plasticizers this temperature should be between 90° and 100°C. TEGO® AddBond 1270 TEGO® AddBond leads to a significant increase of adhesion and corrosion resistance of paints. After neutralizing with amines, it is water reducible and can be used in water-dilutable paints. TEGO® AddBond DS 1300 TEGO® AddBond DS 1300 is used in waterborne air-drying and thermosetting coatings. page 4 Product Group TEGO® AddBond How to use TEGO® AddBond Kind of drying Room temperature Stoving formulations/IR-drying LTH Can coating HS LTW if higher flexibility is needed 1270 DS 1300 for waterborne formulations Energy-curable formulations Cationic crosslinked HS LTH LTW Radically crosslinked LTH if higher hardness is needed 2220 ND LTH frequently better rheological profiles than LTW Aqueous Others DS 1300 HS 1270 LTW LTH if higher hardness is needed We recommend adding 5 to 15% by wt.

For this reason, it is particularly suitable as a carrier resin for pigment concentrates. Combined with a dispersing aid, these concentrates exhibit high color strength and low viscosity. TEGO® VariPlus UC is especially designed for high solids pigment concentrates with high pigment loading capacity. TEGO® VariPlus 1201 TF is used as a gloss promoting supplementary resin in high- Broschüre_VariPlus_US_12_Seiten_end.indd 6 performance pigment concentrates. Because of its very good wetting properties, TEGO® VariPlus DS 50 increases the pigment loading capacity. This makes it possible to obtain very stable pigment concentrates and inks with an outstanding gloss even at high levels of pigmentation. Therefore, the use of dispersing additives can be reduced significantly. TEGO® VariPlus UC W 40 is designed for universal high performance pigment preparations with excellent compatibility in waterborne systems. 08.03.2012 08:30:52 Printing inks Soluble in alcohol, TEGO® VariPlus SK, CA and 1201 TF are used in printing inks based on polyvinyl butyral, nitrocellulose, alkyd resins, maleic resins, or rosin resins to accelerate drying and improve adhesion and gloss. TEGO® VariPlus 1201 TF is particularly suitable for the production of printing inks that must exhibit good block resistance after rapid through-drying. Furthermore, in numerous binder combinations, TEGO® VariPlus 1201 TF improves adhesion, even on PVC and polyolefin substrates (like OPP). Special benefits are achieved in hot stamping foils. TEGO® VariPlus DS 50 is used in waterborne printing inks to give higher gloss, better adhesion and faster drying. Ball-point pen pastes Ball-point pen pastes owe their special rheological properties to the unique chemistry and structure of TEGO® VariPlus CA, and, in particular, TEGO® VariPlus SK. These prevent the pastes and the inks in writing instruments from drying out but also to set quickly after writing. Coatings Because of its high Tg and special structure, TEGO® VariPlus DS 50 improves the resistance of waterborne coatings to water, solvents and chemicals. It also improves the film hardness and the gloss. When TEGO® VariPlus DS 50 is used in plastic coatings or automotive OEM coatings, respectively, it improves adhesion to the substrate and intercoat adhesion. In wood coatings, TEGO® VariPlus DS 50 accelerates the surface drying, throughcure, hardness and gloss. TEGO® VariPlus DS 50 used in leather coatings positively influences gloss, adhesion and hardness. TEGO® VariPlus SK and CA are applicable as resin modifiers mainly to improve hardness and drying of solventborne coatings. Product Group TEGO® VariPlus page 7 Broschüre_VariPlus_US_12_Seiten_end.indd 7 08.03.2012 08:30:54 PUR systems Due to the high reactivity of their OH groups with isocyanates, TEGO® VariPlus CA, SK, 1201 TF and DS 50 are used in PUR systems. In the case of TEGO® VariPlus CA, account must be taken for the residual moisture content. Nitrocellulose coatings The product group TEGO® VariPlus can be used in the manufacture of all types of nitrocellulose coatings. In nitrocellulose wood coatings, they improve polishing and adhesion. If TEGO® VariPlus SK is used, additional elasticity and resistance, as demonstrated by the Cold Check Test, is improved. Energy-curable systems In energy-curable systems, TEGO® VariPlus AP and SK are used to lower volume shrinkage that occurs during curing and thus to improve adhesion. TEGO® VariPlus SK improves hardness and gloss and can be used as a grinding resin in pigment systems. Due to its acetophenone base, TEGO® VariPlus AP acts as a polymeric photoinitiator in combination with an amine synergist. TEGO® VariPlus 3350 UV reduces volume shrinkage and tends to increase curing speed. Inks, toners TEGO® VariPlus CA lends alcohol-based inks used in roller-ball, felt and fiber-tip pens their high water resistance. TEGO® VariPlus SK is used in toners. Paper varnishes When TEGO® VariPlus CA and SK are used in paper varnishes, their brightness, lightfastness, neutrality, and unsaponifiability are an advantage. For example, systems based on cellulose acetobutyrates are water-clear and dry rapidly to produce a non-abrasive surface with high gloss and elasticity. Hot melt compounds In hot melt compounds, which are used to protect tools and machine parts, TEGO® VariPlus CA, 1201 TF and SK are used to control the melt viscosity and the hardness of the cooled mass. Recommended formulations are available on request. page 8 Product Group TEGO® VariPlus Broschüre_VariPlus_US_12_Seiten_end.indd 8 08.03.2012 08:30:56 Typical properties Softening point °C Non-volatile matter % by wt.

Tego – Power for Plastic Coatings page 3 Tego Additives and Co-Binders page 4 Tego – Power for Plastic Coatings Tego Coating Additives for Plastic Coatings A product’s first contact with the market is critical for its success. Similarly, the entire structure of a coating depends on its first contact with the sub strate. Adequate wetting of substrates with low surface energies is often a challenge. This is where the use of substrate wetting additives is essential. This requires effective and compatible deaeration, defoaming and optimum color strength development through rapid, thorough pigment dispersion followed by stabilization. For a brilliant overall performance, we offer TEGO® Airex for deaeration, TEGO® Foamex for defoaming and TEGO® Dispers for pigment dispersion and stabilization. The consumer’s first tangible contact with the product is via the cured surface. Excellent flow and leveling and the correct slip generate a positive impression of quality which defines the future perception of the object’s performance. Outstanding spreading and wetting on plastics from the first to the last drop make Adequate protection against, for example, the prospect of a brilliant surface a reality. mechanical stress results in durable products which satisfy a sophisticated product An additional advantage: optimum surprofile. This is a task for TEGO® Glide face wetting is the foundation for good and TEGO® Flow. TEGO® Rad, our crosssubstrate adhesion and excellent flow linkable, acrylate-functional additive characteristics. series for energy-curable formulations, can also provide solutions. Increasing demands from coatings manufacture through to end use require system specific additives. The growing number of specialized binder types with increasing diversity set the tone. The right visual impression can only be obtained if conditions are optimal during the manufacture and application of coatings. Waterborne formulations, in particular, require a surface tension reduction in the liquid phase; TEGO® Wet and TEGO® Twin provide the solution.

In response to the ever increasing need for accurate, timely, and vital information, the TEGO brand of Evonik has responded with web seminars and new electronic and print publications to keep our customers informed. By introducing the next generation of the TEGO Journal, the palm sized Pocket TEGO, The Little TEGO app, informative webinars plus various brochures and website enhancements, TEGO offers various information modes to support our customers. TEGO Communication Tools • TEGO Journal • The Pocket TEGO • TEGO Web Seminars • Product Overview brochure • Nanoresins brochure • High Solids brochure • • • • • Plastic Coatings brochure TEGO® AddBond brochure TEGO® VariPlus brochure TEGOtalk quarterly newsletters www.tego.us website Webster defines innovation as the introduction of something new; a new idea, method, or device; a novelty. In a recent issue of Forbes Magazine, they went one step further, quoting Star Trek’s Captain Kirk and said innovation was “boldly going where no man has gone before.” While it’s quite common for industry to think of innovation in terms of product development and intellectual property, there are numerous examples of innovative thinking happening in every function of every company every day. Any process or activity that will make our business operate more efficiently and profitably is an example of innovation. Innovation accelerates when ideas can be exchanged in an open and risk free environment. On his website, www.innovationexcellence.com, Paul Hobcraft blogged a few months back about the value of managing innovation across three horizons – sustained innovation (short-term, market maintenance), transformative innovation (mid-term, market transformation) and disruptive innovation (long-term, creation of additional viable options). This issue of TEGOtalk is dedicated to our recent innovations in market communication and informational tools. It’s our wish that the tools we have assembled and talk about in this newsletter will help spark idea development or assist you in making your innovation process fruitful across your entire innovation horizon. Continued Success, Jim Yosh, Business Director Communi c atio n is k e y TEGO Journal The TEGO Journal, a leading reference guide in the coatings industry, is by far one of the most important tools offered from Evonik’s coatings and additives innovator. The TEGO Journal provides a technical background on common coating formulation issues such as foam or pigment dispersion, plus an overview of TEGO products including product recommendations. Information within the journal satisfies readers of various backgrounds and years of experience. Many coatings formulators use it as a training tool and reference guide for new chemists. Web Seminars The Pocket TEGO The Pocket TEGO, our compact reference work, fits comfortably in the pocket of a lab coat so it is always at hand. It offers an extensive collection of information to support the formulator’s daily work. In addition to various formulas, conversions, and standards, it also contains information on topics such as color, raw materials, and typical coating defects. The Pocket TEGO also includes a coatings glossary in five languages. These web seminars are free of charge and protect the identity of all participants while maintaining their ability to utilize a chat feature within the web environment to ask questions and request feedback. The Little TEGO Mobile App Smart phones have become part of our everyday lives. From banking to online shopping, mobile devices are our direct link to the world. Motivated by the ease of use consumers experience with mobile integration, The Little TEGO, a mobile app version of the The Pocket TEGO, was recently introduced with functionality and convenience at the forefront of its agenda. Brochures Featuring a fully integrated set-up of the printed version’s tools, this platform brings another form of media into the laboratory. Since turning pages or logging on to a computer isn’t always convenient in a lab setting, the app contains an integrated collection of formulas which enable almost instantaneous calculation of important parameters and data, i.e. pigment volume concentration, rotational speed conversion, amount of curing agent required and much more. “The Little TEGO” is now available as a free app in the iTunes Store and Android Market (QR image attached). General information & Product samples TEGO Sales Support: fax +1 804 541-6290 For many years, we’ve been training customers in the use of our TEGO products, primarily through personal contact. However, it is often the case that the daily routine doesn’t allow for attendance at our technical trainings and seminars. These new web-based seminars offer our customers live and flexible information transfer and training on our newest products. On our website, www.tego.us, the customers will find a web seminar area where an initial overview of our online trainings is available. asktego@evonik.com In addition to the communication tools previously highlighted, we also have a wide selection of brochures covering our product ranges such as nanoresins and some market segments such as plastic coatings. We publish quarterly updates on the ‘what’s new’ with TEGO in the form of the TEGOtalk, and we maintain a constantly updated website which houses print-friendly versions of all these works. It is clear to see that improving the performance of coatings isn’t our sole focus. Our aim is that customers not only receive the very best technical solution from TEGO, but that they find the search for that perfect product as simple as possible. TEGO – Adding Advantages.

Evonik Goldschmidt Corporation, Coating Additives, 710 South 6th Ave., Hopewell, VA 23860 TEGOtalk | Issue 34 | 12 More information at www.tego.us tegotalk Issue 32 | 11 Editorial One possible way to increase business is to take a successful product or technology and leverage it in to a new application or market. When successful, this type of strategy provides unique opportunities for the supplier and the customer alike. The customer has the advantage of adapting existing technology without a long learning curve, and both business partners benefit from the creation of additional value for their respective companies as well as for the end user. TEGO® Twin 4100 New Multifunctional Additive Tackles Difficult Substrate Wetting, Defoaming and Compatibility Issues The new TEGO® Twin 4100 further extends siloxane additive technology to provide waterborne coating formulators with excellent wetting on difficult substrates, such as metal, wood and plastics. It also provides excellent defoaming and compatibility with sensitive resin systems. TEGO Twin® 4100 also demonstrates superior anti-cratering performance due to the multifunctional additives’ extraordinary surface tension reduction. This is one of the potential advantages we had in mind with the creation of TEGO® Twin 4100. This multifunctional additive is based on our expertise in providing novel solutions designed to fulfill multiple technical requirements. This is simply another way for formulators familiar with our technology platforms to confidently develop new offerings for their markets while being assured of Tego’s ability to deliver innovative, quality products in a timely manner. We are also striving to take innovation beyond the laboratory and integrate it in to every aspect of our business culture. One of our more recent customer service innovations is to simplify your ability to contact us directly by providing more memorable contact details.

Continued Success, Jim Yosh, s Business Director TEGO® T WIN TEGO® Twin 4100 is developed based on a polysiloxane with organic modifications TEGO® Twin 4100 also presents economical advantages for the formulator This technology is characterized by multiple symmetrical hydrophobic and polar groups separated by a spacer. At concentration levels of 0.5 % in formulation, TEGO® Twin 4100 exhibits better than 7 % improvement in surface tension reduction compared with either Twin 4000, or a conventional siloxane, and approaching 28 % improvement compared with a typical organic surfactant. The TEGO® Twin 4100 provides good deaeration in waterborne formulations, significantly improves wetting – even on contaminated metal surfaces–and decreases foam. The additive offers formulators excellent flow and leveling, good overspray acceptance and displays longterm stability and persistence in the final formulation. TEGO® Twin 4100 presents an excellent environmental profile, is 100 % active, solvent-free, and APE-free. Because it possesses such high active matter content and is easily incorporated at low addition levels, it allows the formulator to reduce the total additive content of the formulation which provides potential cost savings. TEGO® Twin 4100 performs the functions of two additives in one structure by providing excellent wetting while maintaining a defoaming effect, allowing the potential for a single additive to replace a defoamer, wetting agent, and any additional surface control modifiers. Evonik recommends the addition of TEGO® Twin 4100 and evaluation of wetting, flow and foaming behavior before considering the addition of any other flow agent or defoamer. Begin with low addition levels to maximize the efficiency of your formulation.
