Special Features and Benefits
The additive causes just a slight lowering of the surface tension of coating systems. It therefore improves the flow and leveling and in some formulations also has a defoaming effect. The formation of Bénard cells is also prevented and gloss is increased. The additive displays no blushing in clear coats after water immersion tests.Recommended Levels
0.05-0.6% additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions
The additive can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition.
Special Note
Unlike so-called silicone oils, this additive is very user-friendly. Nevertheless, before use it should be determined in a series of tests whether foam is stabilized in certain systems. Similarly, the recoatability and cratering should be checked.
