    Features & Benefits

    Product Highlights

    Finma-Sil is free-flowing, easy to handle and pumpable. The amount of wetting agents is reduced to a minimum. Nevertheless, Finma-Sil does not cream even after prolonged storage times and does not sediment. The sedimentation behavior is significantly improved compared to the pure component. The paste can also enhance the soft feel and the mechanical resistance (against marking, polishing) of the surface.
