Additives

Indovinya’s technical team has considerable expertise in the development and application of coatings additives. With years of dedication and commitment to innovation, we have built a broad portfolio for the industry. Our team’s experience ensures we understand the market requirements, offering tailored solutions that optimize processes and enhance product performance.

Additives play a key role in paint formulation, being essential in both manufacturing and performance. During production, pigment dispersion process is a critical process that requires time and energy. Wetting and dispersing agents are essential in this phase to ensure uniformity, stability, and optimal viscosity, facilitating color incorporation and enhancing the final product’s value. Moreover, industrial paints additives are specifically designed to improve the quality of coatings, varnishes, and enamels used in industrial and automotive applications. OXITIVE® line can be effectively utilized in both solvent-borne and water-borne systems, contributing significantly to the overall performance and aesthetic appeal of the coatings.

Our OXITIVE® line of additives has been developed based on market needs and trends. With multifunctional surfactants, it enables the formulation of high-performance, competitive, and more sustainable paints and pigment concentrates that are low VOC (volatile organic compounds), APE-free (free of alkylphenol ethoxylate), and low foaming. Its high wetting capacity and wide range of HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) deliver greater flexibility to formulators, key benefits and properties such as levelling, substrate wetting and sagging resistance.
