WACKER® CROSSLINKER V 72 is compounded with Silicone Catalyst Emulsions and Dehesive® Emulsions. It used to produce release liners especially on filmic substrates.

Application Details

Processing

  1. Prepare the water quantity in a clean container while stirring slowly.
  2. Add the Dehesive(R) polymer Emulsion directly to the tank and mix at moderate shear.
  3. In a next step add the crosslinker emulsion and continue mixing moderatedly.
  4. Add the Catalyst–EM in the last step and mix at moderate shear to achieve a homogeneous bath. Please take care of perfect homogenization while adding the Catalyst-EM.

Avoid local concentration peaks and catalyst poisons.
