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.

Commercial Benefits
FASTER DRYING
Ideal for high-building coatings (roof, flooring, road marking). Enables two-coat application in one day, reducing labour costs.
CONSISTENT RESULTS ACROSS CONDITIONS
Effective in high-build coatings and challenging drying environments, even under low temperatures and high humidity.
DROP-IN SOLUTION
Easy integration during grind. Recommended dosage: 2.0–3.0 wt%.
Formulation Advantages
- Drop-in additive ➝ Easy to incorporate during grind; no major reformulation required.
- Broad resin compatibility ➝ Works seamlessly with acrylic, epoxy, PU, styrene acrylic and vinyl acetate systems.
- Eco-compliant alternative to alcohols ➝ Eliminates VOC concerns while accelerating drying
