Application Details
  • WACKER® E 1656 can be used best in car polishes, e.g., in paint conditioners, paint polishes and vinyl conditioners.
  • In paint conditioners and paint polishes both gloss level and detergent resistance are improved. WACKER® E 1656 is especially useful for the making of vinyl conditioners.
  • Due to the polar aminofunctions of the emulsion's active, the protective polish film adheres extremely well to the substrate surface which results in that gloss and depth of image are retained for a longer period of time.
  • In combination with emulsions based on polydimethylsiloxanes, e.g. WACKER® E 1044, the characteristics of vinyl conditioners can be exactly adjusted with regard to gloss and depth of image.
  • WACKER® E 1656 may exhibit a grayish / greenish appearance. This is typical for this product. Stir well before use.
