- Properties
PAT-ADD SL 1120 is a very efficient surface tension modifier, effective at very low concentrations. The product demonstrates excellent substrate wetting, thus avoiding the formation of craters, pinholes and poor substrate coverage of coatings applied onto critical substrates such as improperly cleaned substrates and low surface tension substrates. Moreover, PAT-ADD SL 1120 provides excellent surface smoothness, slip and mar resistance, counteracts pigment floating or foam formation. PAT-ADD SL 1120 is suitable for use in pigmented as well as clear coating systems
- Benefits
- Most effective slip agent
- Defoaming, antiblocking, mar resistance
- Wide range of compatibility, excellent film transparency
- Reduces coefficient of friction (COF) in solventborne and UV-curable systems
- For solventborne industrial and UV/ EBC cured systems; limited compatibility in WB systems
Applications & Uses

- Use Level
- 0.05-1.0%
- Application
Provides best slip, contributes to leveling, optimal matting agent and metal pigment orientation. Polyether modified polysiloxane, approx. 15% polysiloxane.
- Dosage & Addition
The optimal amount of PAT-ADD SL 1120 to be used is system and application related; in order to maintain proper recoatibility properties, excessive levels should be avoided. PAT-ADD SL 1120 may be added to the formulation during any stage of paint production. The recommended dosage is between 0.05 to 1.0%, calculated on the total weight of the formulation. It is strongly recommended to evaluate performance and compatibility empirically, applying close-to-practice test conditions. The optimum concentration to be used depends on the individual requirements and conditions.
