Chemical Composition
Polyether modified siloxane
Advantages
- Provides a strong reduction of surface tension.
- Exhibits very good substrate wetting and flow/leveling.
- Offers an extremely low foam stabilization.
- Does not increases surface slip and impairs recoatability.
- Possesses highly effective spreading, wetting and leveling properties.
- Especially suited for coating colors applied by curtain coating as it strongly improves tension rheology.
Other Applications
Used in aqueous coatings and printing inks.
Suitable for water-borne systems based on: styrene acrylic, pure acrylic and acrylic/PU combinations, crosslinkable polyurethanes and baking systems.
