WACKER® E 3157

WACKER® E 3157 is a nonionic oil-in-water emulsion of a medium-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane dispersed in water. The emulsion remains stable even in diluted form under shear stress and offers excellent wetting and spreading properties. It can be easily incorporated into cold-stirred formulations. WACKER® E 3157 is particularly suitable for formulating paint and vinyl conditioners.

Application Details

WACKER® E 3157 can be used for the formulation of release agents in rubber processing. Furthermore, the emulsion is suitable best for the formulation of paint and vinyl conditioners.
The polydimethylsiloxane ingredient supports an easy polishing of the conditioner formulations and improves the brightness.
In rotary offset printing, WACKER® E 3157 improves the heat resistance of the paper web and reduces its sensitivity to shear.
WACKER® E 3157 bestows good antiblocking properties on the paper web making it resistant to mechanical stress and letting it glide over the rollers very easily.
WACKER® E 3157 has to be stirred well before use.
