Brushing Additives
Specialist brushing additives enhance the flow, levelling, and overall performance of compatible paints and coatings during application. They help maintain a wet edge on warm days, preventing brush marks and ensuring a smooth finish. Suitable for industrial, automotive, and architectural coatings, these additives improve surface application on a variety of surfaces that may include metals, wood, and concrete, depending on the product they are used with. Essential for achieving professional results, they provide a consistent application without compromising durability. Contact the technical support team for guidance on product compatibility.
Selemix 6-580 Brushing Additive
An additive which can be added to Selemix 1K Synthetic Primers and Topcoats in order to improve the brushing capabilities. The additive extends the open time and gives more flow to help eliminate brush marks. It can be used in Selemix 7-610, 7-611, and 7-630 Topcoats, and 7-810 and 7-820 Primers. For Industrial Use Only
Kolorbond KolorFlow
For use with Kolorbond Aquatek to avoid leaving brush marks or to keep a ‘wet edge’ on a warm day. Stir in 10% of KolorFlow (maximum 20%). This will slow the drying of the paint and assist leveling. The addition of KolorFlow also assists when spraying in hot weather. More Info Delivery Info

Brushing additives are specialised chemicals designed to enhance the application properties of paints and coatings. They improve flow and levelling, ensuring a smoother finish while reducing brush marks. Additionally, they are invaluable for maintaining a wet edge, particularly on warm days when paint can dry too quickly.
Practical Uses and Benefits
These additives are vital in scenarios where spray application is impractical or a fine brush-applied finish is necessary. They help keep a wet edge, preventing the paint from drying too rapidly in warm conditions. This feature ensures a uniform appearance on surfaces like metals, wood, and concrete, even in detailed or hard-to-reach areas.
Applications and Surface Compatibility
Brushing additives are versatile and can be used on various substrates, including metals, wood, and masonry. In the industrial sector, they provide durable, even coatings on machinery and equipment. In automotive and architectural applications, these additives ensure a consistent finish on body panels and complex structures, while maintaining a wet edge throughout the process.
Industry Use and Importance
Industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing utilise brushing additives for specific coating requirements. They are also widely used in the marine industry for protective coatings on vessels. Maintaining a wet edge is critical in sectors where finish quality and durability are crucial.
