Functions of additives in paint and printing ink formulations
For manufacturers of paints, varnishes, and printing inks, the choice of surfactants and functional additives depends on the type of binder, pigment, filler, solvent, application method, and required properties of the finished coating. We select products taking into account the formulation, production process, and planned purchase volume.
Dispersion and Stabilization
Helps control the viscosity of pigment pastes and reduces the risk of flocculation and sedimentation.
Defoaming
Used for foam control during production and application processes.
Leveling and Spreading
Improves spreading and reduces orange peel and brush or roller marks.
Prevention of craters and surface defects
Helps reduce the risk of craters, fish eyes, and foreign inclusions.
Compatibility with aqueous and organic systems
Supports stability in aqueous and solvent-dilutable formulations.
Viscosity control and formulation stability
Used for rheological control and storage stability.
Improvement of coating gloss and appearance
Helps improve gloss, transparency, and uniformity of the finished surface.

Questions about purchasing surfactants and additives for paints and coatings
Can I get an additive sample for laboratory testing?
Yes, sample availability and quantity are agreed upon after receiving information about the formulation, application area, and required properties.
How to find out the minimum order quantity?
Minimum order quantity depends on the product, form of supply, packaging, and current availability. Please indicate the estimated volume in your request, and we will confirm the commercial terms.
What documents are provided with the product?
Available TDS, SDS, COA, and documents required for export shipment can be provided for selected products.
Do you handle international deliveries?
Yes. Ningbo MOS Chemical Co., Ltd. organizes export B2B supplies of products from China to customers worldwide. Available terms, packaging, Incoterms, and delivery method depend on the product, order volume, and destination.
How to select a surfactant or emulsifier for a formulation?
Specify the binder type, pigments, fillers, water-based or solvent-based system, existing problem, and desired result. Based on this data, we will offer options for preliminary laboratory evaluation.
