Hardening and Wear-Resistant Agent

Overview:

An organic silicone surface additive for solvent-based, solvent-free, and water-based systems. Suitable for coatings, inks, adhesives,

and room-temperature curing plastic systems, significantly reducing surface tension.

Typical Physical and Chemical Data

Chemical Composition: Polyether-modified polysiloxane.

Density

(20 °C):

1.04 g/ml

Recommended Dosage

0.05-0.3 % additive dosage (as supplied) based on the total formulation; up to 1% can be added for water-based and UV systems.

Applications

This additive is recommended for all solvent-based, solvent-free, and water-based coatings, printing inks, and varnishes. It is particularly recommended

for improving the wettability of polyurethane, epoxy, and acrylate adhesives on substrates, as well as the substrate wetting capability of epoxy-based room-temperature curing

plastics.

Addition Method and Processing Guidance

This additive can be added at any stage of production, including post-addition. In room-temperature curing systems, to reduce the foam-stabilizing effect of the additive,

it is recommended to add it at the final stage of manufacturing.

Features and Benefits

Coatings and Printing Inks

This additive drastically reduces the surface tension of coatings and printing inks, thereby improving substrate wetting and preventing cratering. It also

enhances surface slip and gloss. In water-based systems, it can improve anti-blocking properties.

Adhesives and Sealants

It is a highly efficient organic silicone surface additive. It significantly reduces surface tension, thus enhancing the system's

surface wetting on challenging substrates.

Room-Temperature Curing Systems

It is a highly efficient organic silicone surface additive. It significantly reduces surface tension, thus enhancing the system's

surface wetting on challenging substrates.

Special Notes

Unlike conventional silicone oils, however, before use, a series of tests should be conducted to confirm whether the additive stabilizes foam, and its recoatability and cratering tendency should also be evaluated.

Storage and Transportation

Separation or cloudiness may occur at temperatures below 5

°C; heat to 20 °C and mix thoroughly.
