Application Details

In mold release applications, WACKER® E22A is normally diluted to 0.5 - 5.0%. However, in a polish or specialty product formulation, the emulsion is normally used in concentrated form. Normally, a high viscosity type silicone will give high gloss and durability, while the lower viscosity fluid emulsions are easier to apply and rubout.
