Baysilone Paint Additive PL Phenylmethyl polysiloxane Bayer-Börchers Flow / Levelling agent >> Silicone Surface conditioner, miscellaneous >> Anti-crater aid Amino Resins Epoxy Resins Phenolic Resins Polyester Baysilone®- Paint Additive PL 5 Phenylmethyl polysiloxane, 100% active ingredient Description Levelling agent. Solubility aliphatic hydrocarbons soluble aromatic hydrocarbons soluble alcohols soluble esters soluble ketones soluble glycol ethers soluble glycol ether acetates soluble styrene soluble water insoluble Properties Baysilone®-Paint Additive PL is highly compatible with numerous organic binders and is an effective flow-promoter. lt eliminates rheological defects such as craters and / or spray structures. Applications Baysilone®-Paint Additive PL is particularly effective in unsaturated, paraffin-free polyester resins, epoxy resins and combinations of epoxy resins with phenolic resins or amino resins. Addition rate 0.02 - 0.2% based on solids content. Recoatability Use of Baysilone®-Paint Additive PL does not generally result in a reduction in adhesion between base and top coat. lt can therefore be used in primers and undercoats. Levelling agent.
