PAT-ADD LE 1020

PAT-ADD LE 1020 by Patcham FZC is polysiloxane in solvent, ABA structure. Acts as a slip control, mar resistance and levelling agent. Enhances flow and leveling as well as provides gloss optimization. Possesses wide range of compatibility, very suitable for use in clear coatings. It is a very efficient surface tension modifier, effective at very low concentrations. PAT-ADD LE 1020 demonstrates excellent substrate wetting, thus avoiding the formation of craters, pinholes and poor substrate coverage of coatings applied onto critical substrates such as improperly cleaned substrates and low surface tension substrates. It reduces the risk of pigment floatation, reduces coefficient of friction (COF) and offers excellent surface smoothness, contributes to slip and mar resistance and counteracts pigment floating or foam formation. It is effective in epoxies, PUR, acrylics, polyester resin based industrial paints and inks. Recommended for coil coatings and other industrial paints, overprint varnishes and flexo inks. Its recommended dosage is between 0.05 and 0.1% calculated on the total weight of formulation. It is a REACH compliant.
