SILRES® WH 80A is a water-reducible, solvent-free emulsion of siloxane that can be used to increase the beading and water repellency of cellulosic substrates. The modification of water-reducible organic polymers such as alkyds or acrylic latexes with SILRES® WH 80A will increase water repellency and beading after exposure to UV radiation.

Chemical Family: Silicones, Siloxanes

Product Type: Sealer, Solventless & High Solids Coating, Waterborne Coating
