Practical Guides

This article explains how to select Toynol® additives for waterborne wood coatings based on formulation type (clear coat, pigmented topcoat, or primer) and application method (spray, brush, or roller), covering wetting, dispersion, defoaming, and leveling.

This article presents a complete dispersion and stabilization route for pesticide suspension concentrates (SC), covering wetting, dispersant selection, suspension stabilization, and Ostwald ripening inhibition, with formulation solutions based on Toynol® DS series dispersants, AN suspension stabilizers, and FS-204 wetting agents.

This article explains the functional roles and combination logic of the four major additives—wetting, dispersing, defoaming, and leveling—in waterborne architectural coating systems, provides Toynol® additive scheme recommendations for interior/exterior/real-stone coating scenarios, and includes an FAQ, with all data subject to TDS.

This article breaks down the causes of cratering, edge retraction, and fisheyes in waterborne coatings from the perspectives of substrate wetting and leveling — low-surface-energy contamination and surface tension gradients — and provides a troubleshooting path and product selection approach combining acetylenic diol wetting agents and leveling agents (Toynol® FS-204, Superwet, BWA series, and SI/ET leveling agents), including dosage guidance and common pitfalls, with all data per the TDS.

This article analyzes the causes of dispersion instability in printing and coating processes, and presents a systematic strategy combining powerful dispersants, dynamic wetting agents, and mild defoamers to ensure stable pigment dispersion and defect-free coating.

This article examines wetting deficiencies in aluminum die-casting release agents, analyzes the critical surface tension requirements for formulation design, and introduces Toynol® additive solutions for optimizing wetting performance.

Toynol® Foamic 024, a non-silicone, non-mineral-oil polymeric defoamer, rapidly eliminates microfoam in waterborne flexo/gravure inks, outperforming competitors like Tego 825 with faster bubble break and longer foam suppression while maintaining excellent compatibility.

The key to formulating additives for waterborne wood coatings is to diagnose defects and select additives according to the application process; Toynol® offers integrated solutions for wetting (FS-204/Superwet series), dispersing (DS series), defoaming (DF/Foamic series), and leveling (SI series), with specific grades and dosages based on the official TDS and lab trials.

Foam in waterborne paints mainly arises from surfactants and air introduced during mixing. Selection should be based on formulation characteristics. Toynol® offers oil-soluble and waterborne defoamers that provide rapid bubble rupture and foam suppression to ensure stable application quality.
