The amount required depends on type of formulation, the solvent it contains, resin system and total system solids. Dow Corning 11 Additive is generally effective at concentrations ranging from 0.05-2.0 weight percent, based upon total formulation. This additive can be added during the grind or let-down, or can be post-added. Characteristics may vary when used with different systems and formulations. Dow Corning 11 Additive is compatible with acrylic, alkyd, amide, epoxy, nitrocellulose, polyesters, polyurethane, and vinyl systems. Thorough preproduction testing is necessary to ensure expected performance. Silicone additive provides slip, mar resistance and leveling in solvent-based applications. Effective at low concentrations. Can be added during the grind or let-down, or can be post-added. Recommended usage levels: To reduce the coefficient of friction: in solvent-based wood coating add 0.2-1.0% or as low as less than 0.05%, in solvent-based paint add 0.05-0.2%. To improve mar resistance: in solvent-based wood coating add 0.2-1.0% or as low as less than 0.05%, in solvent-based paint add 0.05 - 0.2%. To improve leveling in solvent-based automotive refinishing coating add 0.5-1.0% based on solids, in solvent-based wood coating add 0.1-5.0%, in solvent-based paint add 0.05-0.1%.
