Anti-Skin Agents – CAS Additives’ Solution for Skin-Formation Prevention in Solvent-Based Alkyd Systems

The Anti-Skin range from CAS Additives (e.g., Caskin S50, S51, S52) offers highly effective anti-skinning agents formulated for solvent-based coatings, particularly long- and short-oil alkyd resins. CAS Additives These additives are oxime- and phenol-free, aligning with modern regulatory and sustainability requirements, while delivering superior protection against surface skinning during storage and handling.

In practice, skin-formation (a hard film on coating surface in a can or pot) can lead to product waste, application defects, and costly rework. CAS’s anti-skinning solutions prevent this phenomenon by stabilizing the binder system and maintaining an open film-surface ready for drying when applied. The result: improved container stability, consistent film performance, and reduced downtime. The Anti-Skin series is suitable for pigment pastes, metal coatings, and solvent-based paints, helping manufacturers enhance process reliability and product quality.
