Product Properties: AFCONA-3835 is a reactive polyether modified polysiloxane with methacrylate functionality that can crosslink with UV/EB systems. It averages 7 functional groups per molecule. With this property, it offers permanent slip in coatings, giving anti-blocking and anti-scratch properties.

AFCONA-3835 offers the following benefits:

Good leveling performance, and, after crosslinking, it gives permanent slip.

It is suitable for UV and EB curing systems.

Due to its methacrylate functionality, it also may be used for any systems that use unsaturated bond crosslinking as a primary curing reaction, such as UPE.

Applications & Uses
