PAT-ADD LE 1019

PAT-ADD LE 1019 by Patcham FZC is a polysiloxane compound. Acts as a slip control, mar resistance and levelling agent. It is a highly concentrated, solvent-free surface modifier, showing a very wide compatibility range. Provides excellent slip, surface smoothness, scratch and mar resistance properties. Contributes to improved flow and leveling in solvent-based as well as solvent-free systems. It is a very efficient surface tension modifier, effective at very low concentrations. PAT-ADD LE 1019 demonstrates excellent efficiency, avoiding formation of craters, pinholes and poor substrate coverage of coatings applied onto critical substrates such as improperly cleaned substrates as well as low surface tension substrates. Used in NC, PUR, acid cured wood finishes, automotive refinishes, industrial paints and inks, including UV curing systems and overprint varnishes. PAT-ADD LE 1019 may be added to the formulation during any stage of paint/ ink production. Its recommended dosage for slip and mar application is between 0.02 and 0.2%, for leveling is between 0.05 to 0.2% and for printing inks and overprint varnishes is 0.05 to 0.8%. It is a REACH compliant.
