Baysilone Paint Additive 3451 High molecular weight methyl polysiloxane Bayer-Börchers Flow / Levelling agent >> Silicone Xylene Baysilone® Paint Additive VP AC 3451 (Trial prod.) 5 High molecular weight methyl polysiloxane, 20% in xylene Description Additive for creating special effects e.g. hammer-finish and structural paints. Solubility aliphatic hydrocarbons soluble aromatic hydrocarbons soluble alcohols insoluble esters soluble ketones insoluble / soluble glycol ethers insoluble glycol ether acetates insoluble Decalin / Tetralin soluble / insoluble styrene soluble water insoluble Properties Baysilone Paint Additive Trial Product AC 3451 prevents levelling / flowing resulting in surface structures e.g. hammered effects once when using in precise addition rates for the paint system in question have been determined. Applications Baysitone Paint Additive Trial Product AC 3451 can be used in virtually all binder systems. Addition rate 0.15 - 1% based on wet paint. To regulate the effect, 0.01 - 0.05% Baysilone Paint Additive MA, again relative to wet paint, may additionally be used. Recoatability Recoatability is not recommended and is only possible if a Baysilone Paint Additive with anti-silicone action, e.g. Baysilone Paint Additive OL 31, M 51 or M 101, is added at an appropriate addition rate to the subsequently applied coat. Adhesion between base and top coat is usually still reduced even then, however. Creats special effects e.g. structural paints.
