PAT-ADD LE 1030

PAT-ADD LE 1030 by Patcham (FZC) is polysiloxane in ethylene glycol n-butyl ether solvent. Acts as a slip control, mar resistance, flow, leveling and wetting agent. Enhances the flow and leveling, substrate wetting as well as air release. It is a very efficient surface tension modifier, effective at very low concentrations. It demonstrates excellent substrate wetting, thus avoiding the formation of craters, pinholes and poor substrate coverage of coatings applied onto critical substrates such as improperly cleaned substrates and low surface tension substrates. It offers excellent surface smoothness, contributes to slip and mar resistance and counteracts pigment floating or foam formation. It reduces risk of pigment floatation and has wide range of compatibility. It is effective in PUR, acrylic and polyester melamine resin based industrial paints. PAT-ADD LE 1030 is suitable for use in pigmented as well as clear coating systems. Its recommended dosage is between 0.05 and 0.4% calculated on the total weight of formulation. It is a REACH compliant.
