What is the Applications of High-Viscosity Silicone Waterborne General Leveling Agent?

What is High-viscosity Waterborne General Silicone Based Leveling Agent?

High-viscosity Waterborne General Silicone Based Leveling Agent (Polyether modified organopolysiloxane) is a new type of silicone-based surface additive. It mixes long alkyl chains with polyethers. It is known for its low surface tension properties. This applies to water-based, solvent-based and ink systems with or without solvents.

The application for Silicone based Leveling Agent

• Improved Wettability: High-Viscosity Polyether-Modified Organic Polysiloxane enhances the wettability of pigments and fillers, promoting better dispersion and compatibility with the liquid component. This, in turn, results in smoother and more stable coatings.

• Smoothing Substrate Surface: This product contributes to a smoother substrate surface, enhancing wettability and flow-spreading properties.
• Enhanced Glossiness: The enhanced surface smoothness of ink leads to improved product glossiness.
• Shrinkage Cavity Prevention: It also helps prevent the formation of shrinkage cavities, ensuring the final product's quality.

3. Defoaming and Surface Quality Enhancement:

• Defoaming: High-Viscosity Polyether-Modified Organic Polysiloxane effectively minimizes foam formation, ensuring a smooth surface.
• Oil Shrinkage Prevention: It prevents oil shrinkage, maintaining product integrity.
• Floating Color Prevention: This product prevents undesirable color variations in coatings.
• Flowering Prevention: It also inhibits the occurrence of flowering defects.
• Recommended Dosage: Typically, add 0.05-0.3% for optimal results.

4. Solvent-Free System Benefits:

• In solvent-free systems, the benefits remain consistent, with improved substrate wetting and enhanced seepage force.
• Increased Wetting: High-Viscosity Polyether-Modified Organic Polysiloxane boosts substrate wetting.
• Enhanced Seepage Force: It strengthens the bonding and seepage properties with the base material.
• Recommended Dosage: In solvent-free systems, the recommended dosage is typically 0.3-1%.
