- Fields of Application
Due to its chemical structure SILCO GA 5157 is particularly recommended for water- and solvent based formulations.
SILCO GA 5157 is particularly recommended as leveling and slip additive for printing inks and overprint varnishes.Preferred fields of application:
- Printing inks and overprint varnishes
- Water based systems
- UV systems
- Recommendation for Use
- We generally recommend a dosage of 0.1 - 2.0 % calculated on the total formulation.
- The optimal dosage has to be determined through preliminary tests.
- The additive can be added at any point of the production process at low to medium shear forces.
