SILRES® BS 333 is a nonionic, solvent-free, water-dilutable emulsion that contains a reactive polysiloxane. It is primarily used as an additive for aqueous indoor paints or coatings to enhance their workability and application properties. When added undiluted to indoor paints, SILRES® BS 333 has a positive impact on the wetting and leveling properties of the paint. This results in a very even and smooth coating, particularly on surfaces exposed to sidelights. The improved wetting and leveling properties achieved with SILRES® BS 333 allow for applications without visible overlap, ensuring a seamless finish.

Application Details
  • SILRES® BS 333 is used in undiluted form as an additive for aqueous indoor paints or coatings in order to improve the workability.
  • In indoor paints SILRES® BS 333 positively influences the wetting and leveling properties which leads to a very even and smooth coating. Especially on surfaces with sidelight applications without visible overlap are possible. Because of hydrophobation of the first coat the open time of the second coat is extended. Therefore the application is mendable well. Furthermore the antiblocking properties of the paint are improved.
  • The use of SILRES® BS 333 also causes a considerable increase regarding the contact angle of the final coating. SILRES® BS 333 can be added in undiluted form to aqueous indoor paints or coatings during or after their production. The addition of 1-3 wt.-% is recommended. The product should be stirred well before use.
