Overview

Troysol™ AFL is a multifunctional flow and leveling agent engineered to reduce surface tension and enhance wetting performance in waterborne, solventborne, and UV-curable systems. Developed by Arxada (formerly Troy Corporation), Troysol™ AFL helps eliminate surface defects such as craters, fisheyes, and pinholes by improving flow and substrate adhesion. Its optimized balance of surface-active ingredients supports superior leveling without foam stabilization. Troysol™ AFL is especially effective in high-performance coatings, wood finishes, and industrial applications that demand visual uniformity and long-lasting surface aesthetics.

Benefits

• Superior Flow & Leveling – Minimizes coating defects and improves surface aesthetics

• Broad Compatibility – Works with waterborne, solventborne, and UV-curable systems

• Non-Foaming Behavior – Does not induce foam during mixing or application

• Substrate Adhesion Promoter – Enables strong and even film anchoring

• Gloss Enhancer – Maintains or improves finish clarity and brilliance

• Low Use Rate – Cost-effective due to high efficiency at low dosage

Applications

• Architectural Paints – Improves flow and film smoothness in low-VOC coatings

• Wood Coatings – Enhances surface appearance and prevents coating irregularities

• Plastic Coatings – Promotes even coverage on non-porous substrates

• Industrial Finishes – Supports high-gloss, defect-free finishes

• Printing Inks & Overprint Varnishes – Prevents mottling and enhances wetting

• Automotive Topcoats – Delivers uniform film formation for premium results
