Adhesion Anti-Slip Drying Fire Retardant Insecticide Mildewcide Smell Texture
Everybody needs a little help once in a while. Some days everything seems to work out just fine and other days a little something extra is all one needs to get the job done. For old folks it might be a dietary supplement that puts them right. For house paints, there is a world of additives to help give a little extra something to make things feel right. O-Gee has recently placed a number of new additives in stock since getting access to Coronado's and Insl-x's paint line. These products are used to adjust the working properties or to add a special feature to a coating. Working properties include characteristic features such as dry times, viscosity, and surface tolerance. Special features include texture, mildew resistance and insect control.

Additives can change the working properties of a coating or to add a special feature by simply stirring it into the product. Some are simple dispersants while others may react with the chemicals that constitute the paint film. Since all of these alter the formulation, manufacturer defect warranties may be compromised and care must be taken on the part of the consumer to ensure that the additive and the paint can be used together. A paint manufacturer like Coronado that supplies additives will have tested their products for compatibility. Other generically similar products may work well with a particular additive, but not necessarily. Testing is recommended prior to full scale use to determine if there are any negative effects. Unusual aromas, increased brittleness, a change in opacity, decreased spread rates, induced pot life, and difficult brushing are all possible side effects from use of certain additives. Over adding may also create its own share of problems.
A variety of additives should be a part of every painter's tool box. Paints are made and tested in a controlled laboratory setting but are applied in the real world where environmental conditions change day to day. The label might say that paint X is good for both metal and wood, however, the same paint applied on a metal door during a windy hot dry day will seem like an entirely different product on the wood trim in a damp, cool restaurant. The use of the appropriate additives will help even out the differences and provide the right working properties for the working conditions.
INSECTICIDE
Bug Juice can be added to any oil or latex-based paint, stain, or sealant. This product is safe for pet areas, storage units such as pantries, under sink cabinets and clothes closets. Use anywhere a long lasting insect control is desired.

ADHESION Additives for LATEX PAINT
Flood's Easy Mix E-B added to a latex paint will give it some ability to penetrate into porous and chalky surfaces. This is accomplished with emulsified alkyd resins - much like alkyd modified house paints. Easy Mix E-B also includes wetting agents to better soak into a chalky or porous surface. Adding thinner to paint will, of course, allow it to soak into a surface but it may take the binder with it leaving a weakened film on top. Adding Easy Mix E-B gives latex paint additional resins to soak in while minimizing binder loss.

ANTI-SLIP Additives

Granular material mixed into a floor paint can help to prevent falls and slipping accidents. O-Gee has 3 grades of materials from fine to coarse. When applying mixed product, pour a strip on the floor and spread with a roller. Other methods include shaking onto the wet paint then backrolling to ensure encapsulation. For greater durability, always apply a coat of untreated material or a clear topcoat over the skid-resistant paint.
seal-krete clear gripSeal Krete Clear Grip is micronized polymeric light profile aggregate for use as an anti-skid additive in most paint or clear coatings. It is hard, clear, and has excellent resistance to chemicals and detergents and will give gentle texture to your floor paints. It is effective and yet is gentle enough for walking on with bare feet. Excellent for around pools or food preparation areas or where often cleaning is necessary. The lightweight allows it to remain in suspension longer than traditional skid resistant additives. It is resistant to solvents and can be used in solvent-based alkyd, urethane and epoxy coatings. Do not use in repellents, silicones or wax coatings.

3.2 oz envelope for use with 1 gallon of paint. - $8.55

Bondex's Skid-Tex is a traditional silica sand additive with a constant granule size and treated to be stirred into latex or oilbase paints easily. 1 lb. tub for use with 1 gallon of paint. - $3.74

DRYING Additives for LATEX PAINT
Titan's Paint Mate is the newest addition to our line up of products to help with latex paints. This is a liquid to reduce waterbase paints making them easier to atomize and improve their flow so your latex spray jobs come out smooth and beautiful. It doesn't breakdown the paint making it runny like water does.
Titan Paint Mate $8.99
Floetrol Latex Paint Conditioner, Qt $5.79
Floetrol Latex Paint Conditioner, Gallon $16.00
Coronado Latex Retarder , Qt $15.06
BM Extender, qt 13.84

Floetrol from Flood also helps rejuvenate old latex paint and helps eliminate brush strokes in new latex paint, but its heavier viscosity makes it less suitable for spraying than Coronado's Latex Retarder

Water base paints can also be slowed to improve their brush out. Coronado's Latex Retarder is a thin blend of special solvents that, unlike water, works on the emulsified droplets of paint to remain soft until they coalescence into a paint film. A little goes a long way to slow the drying. - Qt - $12.67

Benjamin Moore also has an extender for paints. Use as a thinner and open time extender for Aura interior, Aura exterior, and Regal when application conditions require it.
• Can be used for brushing, rolling or spraying
• Especially useful under relatively dry, windy or hot applications conditions

DRYING Additives for ALKYD PAINT
Oil-base and alkyd products that get heavy or thick and dry too fast need to be slowed down to improve their flow and leveling. Although adding thinner might help to some extent, Penetrol from the Flood Company gives excellent brushing properties without sacrificing viscosity.
Penetrol Oil Base Paint Conditioner, Quart $10.51
Penetrol Oil Base Paint Conditioner, Gallon $29.38
   
Speeding up drying times can be just as important, especially when downtime is an issue. Lacquers and water-base coatings don't really need to speed up as they dry to the touch so fast anyway, alkyds on the other hand can be a real problem. Traditionally, japan drier is added to speed the uptake of oxygen into the paint for more rapid curing. Lately there is another player on the scene to help oil-base paints dry faster.
Many companies have Urethane additives to harden and enhace the gloss of their industrial enamels. These products create a chemical reaction in the alkyd paint causing an alkyd to dry to the touch and harden in a much shorter period. It is important to mix only what you are going to immediately use and do not over do these products as they can make paint harden in the can. Also, these urethane accelerators have toxic fumes so it is best that safety equipment is used including gloves, respirators, goggles etc and they are applied in well ventilated areas.
DRYING Additives for LACQUER

For modifying dry times you'll find specialized items for both slowing down and speeding up a coating's time to harden. Lacquers dry so quickly that the rapid evaporation of their solvents often drops the temperature of the surface below the dewpoint. As condensation develops the surface turns white and dull resulting in a condition known as blushing. The answer is to slow the evaporation of solvents with Lacquer Retarder. - Gallon - $22.58

Help your lacquer lay down with Smooth All Fish Eye Reducer.Sometimes lacquers don't like what they've been put over. Oils in the previous stain, residues or resistive agents from previous cleanings, even a shot of lubricant can hamper a lacquer for working properly. The resulting dots are called "fisheyes".
- Qt - $10.62
