ADDSIL™ Polyester modified silicone leveling agent |
| |
Polysiloxanes (silicones) have a very high surface activity and therefore are often used as surface control additives. Commercial silicone based surface control additives are modified by polyethers, polyesters or alkyl side groups to improve recoatability and intercoat adhesion. Modification parameters are silicone content, molecular weight and modification degree. |

Short chain polyether siloxanes are used primarily to reduce surface tension in waterborne coatings. Longer chain polyether siloxanes are better in in solventborne and UVcoatings. |
