It provides excellent foam suppression during grinding and application, retains antifoam efficiency during storage, and is easy to incorporate without the use of strong shear forces. Its chemical nature involves an emulsion of organo-modified silicones.

SILCO® GA 5157 is a highly effective leveling and surface additive that improves slip, leveling, and scratch resistance. This organomodified polysiloxane is particularly recommended for water and solvent-based formulations. The preferred fields of application include: Printing inks and overprint varnishes Water-based systems UV systems

DISPARLON® AQ-7120 is designed as general purpose wetting & leveling agent based on acrylic-silicone polymers and easily dispersed into waterborne systems with excellent recoatability.

PEL-SIL™ CL290 is a organo-modified silicone-based additive consisting of a siloxane backbone and polyethylene-oxide (EO) and polypropylene oxide (PO) side chains. PEL-SIL™ CE 390 has recoatability and low tendency to foam. It is good compatibility with many resin systems. PEL-SIL™ CL290 is an excellent silicone-based additive for improving slip and mar resistance and reducing friction coefficient for solvent-borne, water-borne, and UV/EB cured coating systems. It can be used for coatings in industrial and auto, wood, and overprint vanishes and inks.

AGITAN DF 6421 is a defoamer for solvent based systems. It provides the following properties: Versatile efficiency in non aqueous systems; Can be used as supplied; Easily dispersable in most organic solvents

CLiQSMART 1051is apolysiloxane emulsion based defoamer for aqueous systems. The highly efficient defoamer can be used in a broad range of aqueous systems and is typically applied in gloss pigmented and clear coatings, inks and overprint varnishes.

AGITAN DF 311 M is a defoamer for all common solvent based systems. It provides the following properties: Controls foaming and aeration during paint manufacture, filling and application; Low viscosity for easy dispersibility; Good compatibility in a wide range of solvent-borne systems; Long lasting efficiency.

ADD-3231 is a silicone-based surface additive to improve surface properties in all solvent-based medium- to high-polar systems. It is specially used in systems in which solvent-free additives are requested or where a requirement for a special solvent exists. ADD-3231 can be used in coatings and printing inks.

SZ 9137 is a silicon acrylate developed for UV/EB cure coating applications requiring for slip, wetting and good flow.

DISAFOAM BCH 914 has a high performance and low dosage anti foaming agent. The product with 100% active materials, contains silicone in its formulation.

ADD-3031 is a silicone surface additive to provide good substrate wetting of critical substrates and excellent anti-cratering by reduction of surface tension of the coating systems. It also improves surface slip, scratch resistance and anti-blocking properties. ADD-3031 is a heat resistant silicone additive, which shows no thermal decomposition at temperatures between 150°C and 230°C. Due to its low surface tension, it prevents floating of pigments, Bénard cells and pinholing. It is suitable for coatings and printing inks.

CoatOSil™ DSA 6 friction modifier is a silicone micro resin and an excellent candidate to consider for use as an additive to help improve the performance of coatings. In addition to providing silicone lubricity, CoatOSil™ DSA 6 friction modifier has a lower specific gravity than conventional inorganic fine powders and typically has superior heat and chemical resistance as compared with conventional organic fine powders.

SZ 9135 is a silicon acrylate, developed for UV/EB cure coating applications requiring for slip, wetting and good flow.

ADD-2525 is a highly compatible silicone-based foam control additive specially formulated in emulsion form. It is particularly designed for water- and glycol-based pigment concentrates and universal colorants as well as water-based inks. ADD-2525 also finds use in low-PVC emulsion paints (glossy) and water-based clear varnishes.

ADD-3230 is a silicone-based surface additive to improve surface properties in all solvent-based, solvent-free and aqueous systems. It is specially used in systems in which solvent-free additives are requested or where a requirement for a special solvent exists. ADD-3230 can be used in coatings and printing inks.
