Dow Corning 51 Additive has been successfully used in these industrial applications 1 : To reduce the coefficient of friction: Ink Water-based flexographic ink at 0.05-0.1% Solvent-based flexographic ink at 0.5-1.5% Water-based gravure ink at 0.1-0.2% Water-based lithographic ink at 0.1-0.2% Coating Water-based overprint varnish at 0.5-1.0% Paint Water-based paint at 0.5-1.0% Solvent-based paint at less than 0.5% To provide antiblocking: Ink Water-based flexographic ink at 0.1-0.2% Water-based gravure ink at 0.1-0.2% To improve mar resistance: Ink Water-based flexographic ink at 0.1-0.2% or as low as 0.05-0.1% or as high as 0.5-1.0% Solvent-based flexographic ink at 0.5-1.5% Water-based gravure ink at 0.05-0.2% or as high as 0.5-1.0% Solvent-based gravure ink at 0.05-0.1% Water-based lithographic ink at 0.1-0.2% Coating Water-based overprint varnish at 0.1-0.2% or as high as 0.5-1.0% Water-based industrial coating at 0.05-0.1% Improves mar resistance and slip in water-borne systems or solvent-borne systems containing polar solvents; provides water resistance in water-borne systems; also imparts leveling, wetting and gloss Ultra-high-molecular-weight polydimethylsiloxane dispersion. Used to improve mar resistance and slip in water-borne systems or solvent-borne systems containing polar solvents, provide water resistance in waterborne systems and impart leveling, wetting and gloss. Reduces coefficient of friction. Provides antiblocking. <br> Applications: such as water-based and solvent-based flexographic and gravure ink, water-based lithographic ink and overprint varnish.
