Features & Benefits

Performance Benefits

ML surface treatments utilize a hydrophobic siloxane with an embedded polar segment that disrupts particle-particle interaction. The combination of alkyl and polyethylene glycol functional groups are balanced to maximize wetting in non-polar oils.

  • High pigment loading
  • Excellent pigment wetting in oils
  • Low oil absorption
  • Water repellency
  • Low viscosity dispersions
  • Improved compressibility
  • Maximizes color intensity
