SILICONE ADJUVANT FOR COATINGS AND INKS
Within the coatings and inks industry, achieving flawless surface aesthetics and superior functionality presents persistent challenges in formulation design and application. Silicone additives address these challenges through advanced molecular technology designed to precisely modulate surface tension and interfacial properties. Their core functionality stems from an ultra-low surface tension (reaching 21 mN/m), which enables targeted migration to coating interfaces to form monomolecular layers that systematically eliminate defects and enhance performance.
This technology demonstrates critical value throughout the manufacturing process. Its exceptional defoaming efficiency eliminates microfoam during high-speed dispersion and pumping operations, preventing film defects including pinholes and cratering while maximizing production efficiency. During application, silicone additives provide multifaceted benefits: as leveling agents, they eliminate Benard cell formation and orange peel texture to achieve optically perfect surfaces; as wetting and dispersing aids, they reduce system viscosity, enhance pigment stabilization, and prevent floating and flooding while improving color development.
