Improves flow-out, wetting and gloss. Reduces cratering. Prevents pinholing, orange peel and cissing. DOW CORNING 55 Additive is the same silicone additive as DOW CORNING® 11 Additive supplied in a water-soluble solvent. To reduce the coefficient of friction for ink: Water-based flexographic ink at 0.1-0.2% To reduce the coefficient of friction for coating: Water-based wood coating at 0.2-1.0% or as low as less than 0.05% To reduce the coefficient of friction for paint: Water-based paint at 0.05-0.2% To improve mar-resistance for ink: UV-cured flexographic ink at 0.5-1.0% To improve mar-resistance for coating: Water-based wood coating at 0.2-1.0% or as low as less than 0.05% To improve mar-resistance for paint: Water-based paint at 0.05-0.2% To improve leveling for coating: Water-based automotive refinishing coating at 0.5-1.0% based on solids Water-based wood coating at 0.1-5.0% To improve leveling for paint: Water-based paint at 0.05-0.1% or as high as 1.0% Recoatable when used as directed Does not contaminate Provides slip-, mar-resistance and leveling in water-based applications Reactive silicone glycol surfactant with carbinol functionality, supplied at 10% active concentration Reactive silicone glycol surfactant with carbinol functionality. Used to provide leveling, slip and mar resistance. Imparts abrasion resistance by reducing surface friction for water-based and UV-cured flexographic ink, and water-based wood coating, paint and automotive refinishing coating. Improves flow-out, wetting and gloss. Reduces cratering. Prevents pinholing, orange peel and cissing. Can be recoated when used as directed. Does not contaminate.
