VAPOROXOL 3F – Surface Treated Moisture Scavenger for Powder Coating and Paint Systems

About VAPOROXOL 3F

VAPOROXOL 3F is a specially developed surface-treated calcium oxide additive,engineered using advanced processing technology. It offers exceptional moisture absorbency and superior dispersion properties within polymeric resin matrices.

Designed to prevent blisters, porosity, and surface defects in powder coating applications, VAPOROXOL 3F ensures smooth, high-quality film formation and extended coating stability. Its optimized particle treatment makes it ideal for moisture-sensitive coatings, sealants, and adhesives.

Key Benefits

• High Moisture Absorbency – Captures and neutralizes excess moisture to prevent coating defects.
• Excellent Dispersion – Provides uniform blending in polymer matrices for stable performance.
• Improves Shelf Life Stability– Prevents premature reactions or gelling, extending product usability.
• Reduces Blisters & Porosity– Ensures a smooth and flawless finish in powder coating applications.
• Consistent Performance– Maintains optimal physical properties even under varying humidity conditions.

How VAPOROXOL 3F Works

The surface-treated calcium oxide in VAPOROXOL 3F reacts effectively with moisture within the coating system, converting it into stable compounds and preventing unwanted reactions during storage or curing.

Its fine particle structure and surface modification enhance compatibility with various resin systems, improving dispersibility and rheological control while ensuring defect-free coating surfaces.
