Bio-based Drying Accelerator

Exilva Drying Accelerator

Bio-based innovation for faster drying, sustainable coatings.

Exilva® is an innovative, bio-based, EU Ecolabel-compliant, APE- and VOC-free additive designed to accelerate drying time in paints and coatings – without compromising performance. Its patented technology allows water to evaporate freely, resulting in reduced drying time (up to 2 times faster).

Bio-based & ecofriendly

Supports sustainable formulations.

Compliance assured

EU Ecolabel-compliant, APE-free, VOC-free, ideal for low-emission coatings.

Documented performance

Reduces water absorption, maintains scrub resistance, block resistance, colorant compatibility, and stability.

Versatile compatibility

Works with acrylic, epoxy, PU, styrene acrylic and vinyl acetate systems.


Technical highlights

  • VOC content: 0 g/L
  • Odor: Odorless
  • Recommended dosage: 2.0–3.0 wt% (add during grind)
  • Appearance: White paste
  • Mechanism: Patented technology slows surface coalescence, enabling rapid water evaporation.
