Coating additives are the fundamental components of coating raw materials that are used for the formulation of paints and coating materials. They are added in small quantities to a coating material to enhance their features during manufacturing, storage, transport, and application. The number of additives in a coating formulation is rarely more than 5% by weight. The average proportion of a single additive in a formulation is usually around 1.6% of the total quantity of the coating formulation. The fundamental purpose of using additives in a coating formulation is to enhance the characteristic properties imparted by the main components of the coating material, namely the binder, pigment, and solvent. Coating additives improve the dispersion of solids, wetting, foam-reduction, anti-whittling, and UV protection. It plays a major role in giving an aesthetic and glossy appeal to the material and prevents surfaces from dents, UV, scratch, corrosion, and rusting of metallic parts of tanks, radiators, fences, and metal furniture.
