WETTING AT VERY LOW DOSES

Incorporating CoatOSil 7608 Trisiloxane Coating Additive into water-borne coatings and inks can help with smooth and efficient spreading, even on hard-to-wet surfaces. CoatOSil 7608 trisiloxane coating additives can help generate low surface tension, even when used in low dosages, as well as promote a glossy finish and reduce surface defects in the cured coating.

More About CoatOSil™ 7608 Coatings Additive

As a trisiloxane, the CoatOSil 7608 coating additive can help to greatly lower aqueous surface tension, thus promoting wetting in water-based coating systems. While generally considered for use in aqueous systems, trisiloxanes like CoatOSil 7608 coatings additive have also found utility as flow and leveling agents in solvent-based coating systems. Additionally, the presence of an alcohol group in the polyether side chain can offer options to chemically incorporate this trisiloxane additive into the coating matrix.
