DOWSIL™ 205SL Additive

DOWSIL™ 205SL Additive by Dow is 50% silicone polyether copolymer in ethylene glycol isopropyl ether. It is an effective foam control agent and also offers mar resistance as well as levelling properties. It is a BTX-free grade, re-coatable and provides superior hand feel and defoaming in solvent-borne, water-borne and radiation curable coatings, inks and overprint varnishes. It lowers coefficient of friction especially in solvent-borne coatings and has a very low freeze point for easy storage. It is suitable across a wide range of substrates, including paper, board, wood and plastics, food packaging inks, pigmented and clear coat formulations. DOWSIL™ 205SL Additive is recommended to use at approximately 0.2% as supplied based on the total formulation. The shelf life is 36 months.
