Dow Corning Introduces a Unique Additive for High-Performance
Water-Based Inks and Coatings
|
Looking for a way to develop water-based inks and coatings with performance
traditionally associated with solvent-based systems?
Dow Corning® 67 Additive enables spontaneous wetting of even the
most difficult-to-coat substrates, such as PVC foil and other plastics. This
property enables the formulation of high-performance water-based inks and
coatings, giving your customers better solutions for their demanding
applications.
Dow Corning 67 Additive
Performance Benefits:
-
100% organo-modified silicone
-
Low static/dynamic surface tension
-
Ideal for enabling wetting of difficult substrates, such as PVC foil and
other plastics
-
Lowers the surface tension of the coating, which allows wetting of
low-energy substrates
-
Very low dynamic surface tension allows high-speed printing processes
-
Improves wetting during spray application
-
Prevents cratering typically caused by poor wetting or contaminants
-
Reduces the need for organic solvents
-
Does not increase coefficient of friction
-
Has no negative effect on recoatability
Applications for
Dow Corning 67 Additive: More Performance from Your Additive
Choice:
-
Wood coatings: Improved wetting of the wood pores
-
Parquet coatings
-
Printing inks: Improved wetting on PE, PP, PVC
-
Primers, fillers, top coats, industrial coatings (air- and
oven-curing)
-
Two-pack epoxy systems for floor coatings
-
Packaging varnishes
-
Two-pack polyurethane systems
-
Plastic coatings
-
UV-curing systems
-
Drum coatings; waterborne, PE-/ melamine resin, oven-curing
-
Floor coating, cleaning agents (based on acrylate- and styrene
acrylate-dispersions) to replace fluoro surfactants
Elimination
of Surface Defects in Wood Coatings Based on Acrylate/PU
Dispersion
Very often waterborne wood coatings have a high surface tension that causes
surface defects such as craters when the coating is applied on contaminated
(e.g. by adhesives) or inhomogeneous wood substrates. Dow Corning
67 Additive functions as an anti-crater additive, lowering the surface tension
and improving the substrate wetting.
