Baysilone Paint Additive OL 44 Polyether modified methyl polysiloxane Bayer-Börchers Flow / Levelling agent >> Silicone Slip control >> Silicone Surface conditioner, miscellaneous >> Anti-crater aid Acrylic/Acrylate Resins Alkyd Resins Amino Resins Coatings >> Waterborne Baysilone®- Paint Additive OL 44 5 Polyether-modified methyl polysiloxane, 100% active ingredient Description Additive to improve slip and levelling properties. Solubility aliphatic hydrocarbons insoluble aromatic hydrocarbons soluble alcohols soluble esters soluble ketones soluble glycol ethers soluble glycol ether acetates soluble water soluble Properties Baysilone®-Paint Additive OL 44 is an effective levelling agent. lt eliminates craters and spray structures and increases slip properties. Applications Baysilone®-Paint Additive OL 44 is very versatile. lt is characterised by good to very good efficiency in baking paints based on alkyd resin, alkyd / amino resin combinations and in acrylic resin and acrylic / amino resin combinations. Baysilone®-Paint Additive OL 44 is water-soluble but, in view of the limited stability of such solutions in water-borne systems, extensive trials should always be conducted beforehand. Addition rate 0.05 - 0.5% based on solids content. Recoatability Loss of adhesion between base and top coat or of recoatability is unlikely at low addition rates. Such defects, the causes of which include over-baking, may be intensified, however. Additive to improve slip and levelling properties. Eliminates craters and spray structures Very versatile.
