Webinar on Next Generation Additive Performance - Modern Formulations for Exterior Architectural Paints with Coatings World – Register Now
This webinar
on May 25th, 2011 at 2:00pm Eastern Time will introduce Dow Corning®
87 Additive and Dow Corning® 88 Additive in the architectural market.
Both additives improve water repellency and provide improved water beading in
decorative coatings, while Dow Corning® 88 Additive is a
silane/siloxane blend that also imparts improved water repellency and prevents
water absorption.
Both additives create a hydrophobic silicone network in the paint that
repels water but is permeable to water vapor coming from the substrate, leading
to improved water repellency without cracking and blistering.
These novel products are designed to provide sustainable solutions to a
challenging problem in this market. Unlike other silicone-based materials,
these new technologies are effective at low use levels.
Register
for this webinar to hear a Dow Corning expert elaborate more on this
technology.
