The additive was evaluated in a white gloss wood coating based on a self-crosslinking acrylic dispersion ( Table 2 ). Wetting agents were added in a 0.3 % concentration as supplied. Figure 6 shows the wetting performance of the wood coating applied by brush to the Leneta test chart. The additive displayed superior wetting and yielded a defectfree coating in comparison to the blank and reference 1 (gemini diol). The additive can be used for industrial wood applications, such as window frames, and for decorative paints, where low-VOC levels and good blocking resistance ...
