- Product Uses
- L-3645 was designed primarily for topcoat applications where slip and abrasion resistance properties are required.
- L-3645 contains a non-fugitive silicone component that provides low surface tension characteristics on flexible and rigid substrates including leather, plastics, metals and textiles.
- It also demonstrates exceptional dye transfer resistance in automotive leather seating and dry-erase, white board applications when crosslinked.
- Product Applications
- L-3645 may be used as a sole vehicle or blended with acrylic emulsions for spray or rotogravure applications.
- Rheology modifications can be made with associative thickeners for alternative application methods.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Curing
- L-3645 can be air dried, if desired, depending on film thickness.
- Typical oven drying temperatures and dwell times for aqueous coatings are sufficient to produce optimal film properties.
