Special Features and Benefits

The additive increases surface slip and also improves the scratch resistance, it displays good anti-blocking properties and has a hydrophobic effect. It is recommended for solvent-borne coil coatings and architectural coatings.
Recommended Levels
1-5% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation in coil coatings.
3-13% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation in architectural coatings.
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 should preferably be post-added to the coating using a low shear rate. Mix well before use.
