ADDSiL™ 8311 is silicone-based surface additive for solvent-borne and UV curing system. It can provide strong reduction of the surface tension of coating systems. It therefore particularly improves substrate wetting and avoids cratering. Surface slip and gloss are also increased.
ADDSiL™ 8311 is a thermostable silicone additive which, in contrast to conventional silicones, shows no thermal decomposition at high temperature.
The recommended dosage is 0.1~0.5% (25% Xylene solution) of the total formulations.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
The additive can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition.
ADDSiL™ 8311 should be diluted before addition (25% Xylene solution is recommended).
ADDSiL™ 8311 is supplied in 20Kg / 180Kg plastic drum or steel drum or according to customer’s request.
