Silicone coating additives/Silicone resin modifier SL-4749

short description:

WynCoat®, achieving the right appearance, durability and surface properties for many end products requires precise material science and the right modifiers. We offer a full range of specialized silicone-based modifiers that may enhance material properties and can help to streamline processing. In some application, our modifiers may even help to enhance the surface leveling and anti-graffiti capabilities of coatings.

Product Details

WynCoat® SL-4749 is a special modified organosilicone copolymer for aqueous coating systems to improve the easy-to-clean effect. Hydroxy-functional. Permanent effect after cross-linking.

Physical Data

Appearance:          haze liquid

Molecular weight:     7000-9000

Viscosity (25℃)     300-500

Active content (%):    100%

Performance

Due to its high surface activity, the additive accumulates on the surface of the coating where, on account of its OH reactivity, it can be integrated in the polymer network by reacting with suitable binders. If the additives are fixed to the coating surface via its reactive group, the properties, which are caused by the use of the additive, are maintained for a long period of time.

In a multitude of coating systems, SL-4749 increase the hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, which can significantly improve the water-and oil-repelling behavior. Moreover, it brings about a reduced dirt adhesion with a simultaneously increased easy-to-clean effect. The additive increases substrate wetting, leveling, surface slip, water resistance (blush resistance), anti-blocking properties and weather resistance. Therefore, we recommend that SL-4749 is initially evaluated in the formulation without using other surface additives. If additional leveling is required, leveling additives can be added in a second step. SL-4749 can also be used to improve anti-graffiti and tape release properties and organosilicone properties. 

Recommended Use

SL-4749 is hydroxyl-functional and is recommended for use in aqueous top coats. The following binder systems are particularly suitable for anchoring the additive in the binder matrix: 2-pack polyurethane, alkyd/melamine, polyester/melamine, acrylate/melamine and acrylate/epoxy combinations. 

Recommended levels

2-6% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation.

The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests. 

Incorporation and processing instructions

The additive should be added towards the end of the production process and incorporated in the coating at a sufficient shear rate.

Package and storage stability

Available in 25 kg pail and 200 kg drums.

24 months in closed containers.

Limitations

This product is neither tested nor represented as suitable for medical or pharmaceutical used. 

Product Safety

Product safety information required for sale use is not included. Before handling, read product and safety data sheets and container labels foe safe use, physical and health hazard information.
