The amount required depends on type of formulation, the solvent it contains, resin system and total system solids. Dow Corning 7 Additive is generally effective at concentrations ranging from 0.05-5% 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 7 Additive is compatible with acrylic, alkyd, amide, epoxy, nitrocellulose, polyesters, polyurethane and vinyl systems. Thorough preproduction testing is necessary to ensure expected performance. Provides foam control and leveling/wetting aid in solventbased coating systems. Can be added during the grind, let down or be post-added. Recommended usage levels: To provide foam control in solvent-based wood coating add 0.05-0.1%, in solvent-based industrial coating add 0.05-0.1%, in solvent-based paint add 0.1-0.2%. To improve leveling/wetting: in solvent-based wood coating add 0.5-5%, in solvent-based industrial coating ad 1.0-2.0%, in solvent-based industrial metal decor coating add 0.5-1.0%, in solvent-based paint add 0.05-0.1%.
