Teraflow® 5370 is a modified hydroxy functional polydimethylsiloxane silicone surfactant that provides excellent mar and slip resistance in coatings systems that react with hydroxyl groups. When properly formulated with Teraflow® 5370, these coatings systems allow removal of non-penetrating graffiti. Since many types of graffiti materials are used, the graffiti wash must be formulated for each specific graffiti. Teraflow® 5370 provides slip and mar resistance to the film, weatherability and solvent resistance. It also imparts high thermal stability, improves gloss and aids in wetting the coating substrate.
- Recommended Use Levels
Teraflow® 5370 is used in high gloss systems at a level of 0.1% to 3.0% based on total formulation weight and in flat or semi-gloss systems at a level of 1.0% to 5.0% of total weight. Additions are made to the finished paint before let-down.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Compatibility
Teraflow® 5370 is used to prepare coatings that allow commonly used graffiti to be removed by solvent wash. Having reactive hydroxyl groups, Teraflow® 5370 reacts with coatings systems such as 2-component urethanes, epoxy resins, self-crosslinking acrylics, alkydmelamine, polyester-melamine and acrylic-melamine. The formulator should determine the effect of Teraflow® 5370 on intercoat adhesion and recoatability of the film. Coatings formulated with Teraflow® 5370 require complete sanding before re-coating
