- Processing Recommendations
For COF Reduction (or Slip), Wetting, Flow and Leveling Addition levels of 0.2-1.5% are required for COF reduction in radiation-cured coatings. Optimization of addition levels is best accomplished through ladder studies; a quick evaluation at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% will identify the ideal use level in your system.

Technical Details & Test Data
- For Release Properties
Adding 1-3% to a radiation-cured coating will reduce the tendency of tapes and labels to stick permanently to the coated surface. This is useful for the packaging and shipment of furniture with a radiation-cured clear coating. The additive should be incorporated with vigorous stirring or pre-diluted in reactive diluents to ensure optimal uniformity.
