Silmer® OHT Di-50

Silmer® OHT Di-50 by Siltech is 100% active hydroxylalkyl modified silicone. It provides slip, mar & stain resistance and release properties. It has primary OH groups for reaction with isocyanate, epoxy, silane and other condensation cured polymers and films which offer durable properties to a cured system. It is designed to have limited miscibility with organic formulations allowing them to bloom to the surface. It does not contain fluoroalkyl. Typical use levels for anti-graffiti properties are 0.2-3 %. Silmer® OHT Di-50 can be stored for 36 months from the date of manufacture. This grade is listed in TSCA, IECSC and TCSI international inventories.
