Category: Paint Additives
Ingredients used in small quantities to provide specific paint properties such as resistance to sedimentation and spoilage, thickening, and flow and leveling. Use of additives in the right order, at the right time, and in the right proportion in a paint can help improve the appearance, durability and flow of paints.
