Novol 39050 Plus 760 - Antisilicone Additive (300ml)
Save your paint job from the dreaded "fish-eye" effect with Novol Plus 760. This 300ml additive is a specialized chemical solution designed to be mixed into 2K acrylic products (primers, clearcoats, and topcoats) to counteract surface contamination caused by silicones, waxes, or oils.
When a surface isn't perfectly decontaminated, the wet paint "pulls away" from microscopic silicone particles, creating small circular craters known as fish-eyes. Plus 760 reduces the surface tension of the paint, allowing it to flow over these contaminants for a smooth, uniform finish.
Key Features & Benefits
- Fish-Eye Prevention: The primary defense against craters caused by silicone sprays, cockpit cleaners, or wax residues that were missed during cleaning.
- Improved Flow: Helps the paint "wet out" more effectively on difficult surfaces, ensuring a consistent film without surface tension breaks.
- No Loss of Quality: Formulated to integrate seamlessly with Novol 2K systems without affecting the final gloss, UV resistance, or curing time.
- High Concentration: A small amount goes a long way, making this 300ml bottle sufficient for many large-scale paint projects.
- Problem Solver: An essential "emergency" additive for workshops where silicone-based products (like tire shines or interior cleaners) have been used nearby.
Professional Mixing Strategy
Plus 760 is a corrective additive and should be used judiciously.
How to Mix:
- The Dosage: Add 2% to 5% of Plus 760 to the ready-to-spray mixture (Base + Hardener + Thinner). Example: For 1 Litre of mixed paint, add 20ml to 50ml of additive.
- Stirring: Stir thoroughly to ensure the additive is completely homogenized within the paint matrix.
- Application: Spray as normal. You will notice the paint "grips" the surface more evenly.
Expert Insight: While Plus 760 is a lifesaver, it is not a substitute for proper cleaning. If you see fish-eyes appearing while spraying your first coat, stop immediately. Add the Plus 760 to your remaining paint for the second coat—it is often effective at "bridging" over the craters formed in the first layer.
Important Caution: Never exceed the recommended 5% dosage. Over-using anti-silicone additives can lead to "inter-coat adhesion" issues, meaning the next layer of paint or clearcoat might struggle to bond to the layer containing the additive.
