Many of our additives impart a combination of benefits, giving you a high benefit-to-cost ratio. Whether you need foam control; improved pigment dispersion, surface wetting, leveling or adhesion; water resistance, mar resistance, slip, gloss, texturization or any combination, silicon-based technology from Dow Corning can help you achieve it.

an exceptional level of service, support and value. Dow Corning is known for outstanding technical support.Ourteamofexpertswillworkhand-in-handwith yours to ensure your success with these amazingly versatile materials.

How to Use This Guide

This guide will help you explore the properties and performance capabilities of Dow Corning’s global line of additives for paints, inks and coatings. Table 1 offers additive suggestions for use in a variety of delivery systemsandresins.First,fromtheleft-handcolumn,select the delivery system and resin you plan to use. Then, simply follow that row across to the column for the benefit you wish to achieve. In the box where the two intersect, you will find suggested additives for your application. Table 2 groups the additives by their primary benefit and describes their physical makeup, features, secondary benefits and properties. Table 3 highlights products available in sample size via our Additive SampleProgram.

About Concentrations and Blending

The amount of Dow Corning additive required to achieve a particular benefit depends on the type of formulation, the solvent it contains, the resin system and total system

solids. Generally, our additives are effective at the concentrations noted in Table2.Sinceadvantagesdonot increase proportionally, avoid using excessive amounts. Additives from Dow Corning are usually added during grind or let-down or are post-added. However,somemaybeadded during any processing stage.SeeTable2foradditional information.
