XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 20cSt is a polydimethylsiloxane fluid commonly used as a base fluid in personal care products due to its excellent spreading characteristics. It is clear, tasteless, essentially odorless, and non-greasy. Commercial bulk-polymerized dimethyl silicone fluids, such as XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 20cSt, typically contain trace amounts of impurities.

STEPCOTE® W-133 proves to be an efficient wetting agent suited for waterborne coatings. Its integration can occur during the letdown phase of production or post-formulation. While its primary role is enhancing wetting properties, it holds the potential to favorably impact numerous critical coating attributes, including gloss, temperature stability, color acceptance, wet scrub resistance, hiding, and washability.

MAKON® P105 is a nonionic eo/po block copolymer that exhibits good oil-in-water emulsification properties. It can be used in a variety of markets, including agriculture, industrial, and paints and coatings. Applications for best fit are agricultural pesticide formulations, dispersants, emulsifiers, and industrial cleaning.

STEPCOTE® W-846 stands out as an exceptional wetting agent ideally suited for waterborne coatings. Its versatile application encompasses both the letdown phase of production and post-formulation addition. While its primary function revolves around enhancing wetting properties, its potential impact extends to multiple essential coating attributes. These include gloss improvement, mitigating foam formation, bolstering temperature stability, enhancing color acceptance, and optimizing hiding characteristics.

STEPCOTE® W-805 excels as a potent wetting agent designed for waterborne coatings. Its integration can occur during the letdown phase of production or as an addition after the final formulation. While its primary function revolves around optimizing wetting properties, its beneficial effects extend to several pivotal coating attributes. These encompass gloss enhancement, mitigating foam formation, bolstering temperature stability, augmenting color acceptance, improving wet scrub resistance, promoting hiding characteristics, and enhancing washability.
