Products in Foam Control: Anti-Marring Agent

Efka® SL 3236 functions as a slip and leveling agent, being an organically modified polysiloxane soluble in various solvents. It improves general surface characteristics and is recommended for non-aqueous coatings like baking enamels, acid-curable or polyurethane wood finishes.

Andisil® SP 5100 Fluid is an EO / PO containing siloxylated polyether used as a surfactant in various industries

Teraflow® 5301 imparts mar resistance and slip to coatings surfaces. It is used to protect coatings films from scratches and abrasion, while reducing orange peel and cratering.

Teraflow® 5300 is recommended for use in baking enamels, furniture coatings and catalyzed coatings systems, Tallicin® 5300 imparts slip and mar resistance, promotes gloss and surface flow, and reduces cratering and orange peel.

ESQUIM AD-296 is a silicone-based additive used in most water-based, powdered, solvent-based or solvent-free coatings that improves mar resistance, surface slip, leveling, gloss, anticrater and wetting effect.

CoatOSil™ 3505 coatings additive is an excellent candidate for coating formulations that require an array of benefits. Its silicone portion can provide enhancements that include: defoaming, slip; mar resistance, plus, flow and leveling. Comprised of a silicone backbone and an all polypropylene oxide (PO) polyether chain. The degree of property enhancement will be directly related to the interaction of all components of the formulation and the additive use-level.

AMAFCA is an Alkyl-Aryl silicone designed for foam control with the added benefit of improved mar resistance for virtually all solvent systems including high solids resins. Excellent for application defoaming in roller coater, flow coater, curtain coater, dip, conventional and airless spray systems.

SAFA 302 is an unique polymer blend of polyether modified dimethlylpolysiloxane and silicone glycol co-polymer. The polyether modified dimethlylpolysiloxane provides defoaming and mar resistance. The silicone glycol co-polymer gives the product the increased resin compatibility, surface tension reduction and lowers the coefficient of friction. SAFA 302 is virtually compatible with all types od solvent and water systems including emulsions. Blends of SAFA 302 and RAMA can further increase mar resistance in solvent systems and some water based products.

CoatOSil™ 2812 Coatings additive is a linear silicone-polyether (EO) block copolymer with -OH end group. It can help reduce coefficient of friction (COF) and enhance slip and mar resistance in waterborne, water reducible, conventional and high-solids solvent systems. Applications include waterborne coatings, solventborne coatings and solventless or high-solids coatings.

CoatOSil™ 3573 coatings additive can provide a high level of slip and mar resistance in water-borne coatings. In addition to promoting excellent slip properties in water borne formulations, CoatOSil™ 3573 coatings additive can aid in defoaming in solvent-borne coating formulations.

Teraflow® 5330 is designed for nitrocellulose and acid-cured systems, Tallicin® 5330 improves flow, leveling and slip properties. It also improves scratch and mar resistance.
