Self-leveling coatings offer high-build, durable solutions for concrete floors, addressing issues like uneven surfaces, water pooling and abrasion resistance.
DOWSIL™ 211S additive is a low-cyclic, ultra-high molecular weight silicone delivered in a waterborne system that enhances mar resistance, slip and block resistance performance, enabling more durable, longer-lasting wood coatings.
Powder formulators enhance the performance of a coating formulation with the addition of a judicious amount of flow modifier and degassing agent. But be careful, a little goes a long way.
Developed for can and coil coatings, TEGO® Flow 375 and TEGO Flow 460 N silicone-free flow and leveling additives are suitable for direct contact with food (FDA 175.300).
Selecting the right rheology package is the key to formulating optimized waterborne basecoats that possess desirable application fitness and best finishing appearance.
This article discusses the three types of OPVs and emphasizes the use of cellulose esters as additives to improve flow and leveling, and in many cases adhesion.
