Applications
Ambient Curing Plastic Systems
Special Features and Benefits
Doppel-LAG-601, a highly effective silicone additive, provides a strong reduction of surface tension. It thereby improves the wetting of critical substrates. In pigmented systems it can prevent the formation of Bénard cells and improve leveling.
Recommended Use
Doppel-lag-601 is recommended for polyurethane and epoxy systems.
Recommended Levels
0.1-0.5 % additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Coatings Industry
Special Features and Benefits
The additive provides a strong reduction of the surface tension of the coating systems and is a highly effective silicone additive for wetting critical substrates. Doppel-lag-601 improves the acceptance of dust and spray mist and increases surface slip. It reduces air draft sensitivity in wood and furniture coatings and promotes the orientation of matting agents.
Recommended Use
The additive can be used in all solvent-borne systems.
Recommended Levels
0.1-0.5 % additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.
