Baysilone Paint Additive OL 17 Polyether-modified methyl polysiloxane Bayer-Börchers Flow / Levelling agent >> Silicone Surface conditioner, miscellaneous >> Anti-crater aid Coatings >> Waterborne Baysilone®- Paint Additive OL 17 5 Polyether-modified methyl polysiloxane, 100% active ingredient Description Additive to improve flow properties and surface smoothness. Solubility aliphatic hydrocarbons insoluble / soluble aromatic hydrocarbons soluble alcohols soluble esters soluble ketones soluble glycol ethers soluble glycol ether acetates soluble Decalin / Tetralin soluble water soluble Properties Baysilone®-Paint Additive OL 17 is an effective flow-promoter and also improves surface smoothness. lt eliminates spray structures, orange-peel and prevents the formation of craters. Applications Baysilone®-Paint Additive OL 17 is characterised by good binder compatibility and a high degree of efficiency in many binders. lt is particularly suitable for chemically curing systems, primarily Desmodur® / Desmophen® paints. Baysilone®-Paint Additive OL 17 is water-soluble but its use in such solutions should always be preceded by extensive trials on account of their limited stability in water-borne binders. Addition rate 0.05 - 0.5% based on solids content. Recoatability Loss of adhesion between base on top coat or of recoatability is unlikely at low addition rates. Such defects, the causes of which include over-baking, may be intensified, however. Improves flow properties and surface smoothness.
