Product Application:   

UV System

 Silok®8588 is a classical additives for UV varnish, solvent-based UV, solvent-based UV systems, can provide a very excellent handle, anti-sticking, increase slip, anti-fouling, anti-scratch and wear-resistant rub performance, while it has good performance of shrink holes; as good as its miscibility; and will not affect the adhesion of the substrate; but for the high-smooth nature Silok®8588 is poor in re-coating, that need to be assessed carefully.

Solvent-borne coatings

 Silok®8588 is applied to all solvent-based coating system (such as the Clean Paint, PU wood finish, NC paint, polyester paint wood, plastic paint, paint, ink, etc.), it provides a very good handle, anti-sticking, increase slip, good leveling and anti-shrinkage performance, excellent compatibility with the resin.

Water System

 Silok®8588 can provide a sense of prominence-slip, wear and anti-scratch natures in water-based varnish, water-based leather paint, water-based plastic paint and metal paint, significantly reduce surface tension of the system, gives excellent mobility.

Application Method:

Silok®8588 smooth leveling agent can be added in coatings, paints during or after the manufacturing process; typical amount of 0.05% -0.5%, need to use a suitable solvent, such as alcohols or esters diluted to 20% solution before use, it can achieve the best distribution and miscibility of the system; however, the specific dosage to each system is different, so it requires to determine by experiments.

Note:

Because of Silok®8588 has high viscosity and high solid content, in case of use, it is proposed to diluted 8588 solution to about 20% for standby.

Storage and validity: 

Unopened stored at room temperature, the shelf-life of the product of from the date of production for 24 months.
