EFKA-3236 improves the general surface characteristics and in particular the following advantages are gained. improves levelling and surface smoothness increases slip and mar-resistance prevents orange-peel effect or cratering stabilizes the curtain in curtain coating application avoids the formation of Bénard cells (anti-floating effect) improves overspray acceptance acts as a defoamer and de-aeration aid EFKA-3236 is especially recommended for non-aqueous coatings such as: stoving enamels based on alkyd-, acrylic- or polyester resins acid cured- or polyurethane- wood finishes particularly when applied curtain coating self-levelling epoxy flooring compounds UV-cured paper lacquers air-dried alkyd systems Addition: 0.04 - 0.4% on total formulation Solvent-free modified polysiloxane. Used to improve surface characteristics for non-aqueous coatings such as stoving enamels based on alkyd-, acrylic- or polyester resins, acid cured- or polyurethane- wood finishes particularly when applied curtain coating, self-levelling epoxy flooring compounds, UV-cured paper lacquers and air-dried alkyd systems. Improves levelling and surface smoothness. Increases slip and mar-resistance. Prevents orange-peel effect or cratering. Stabilizes curtain in curtain coating application. Avoids formation of Bénard cells (anti-floating effect). Improves overspray acceptance. Can be used as a defoamer and de-aeration aid. <br> Use level: 0.04-0.4% on total formulation.
