Silicone leveling additive for solvent-based coatings. Tilo-L8221 is a heat resistant silicone additive, i.e., in contrast to conventional (polyether modified) silicones; it shows no thermal decomposition at temperatures between 150°C and 230°C. Thus, upon the recoating baking systems, no loss in adhesion and no surface defects occur. It provides a strong reduction of surface tension of paint systems. Therefore, It especially improves substrate wetting and avoid cratering. Additionally, surface slip and gloss are increased.

The use of thermo-stable silicone additives such as Tilo-L8221 in coil-coatings (or similar systems) can lead to a migration of the silicone to the reverse side of the sheet or roll.

Silicone surface additive, used for water based, solvent based and solvent-free, radiation curing coatings and printing inks with strong surface tension reduction, substrate wetting ability, anti-cratering and increasing surface smoothness.

Fluorocarbon-modified high molecular weight polymer. Recommended for solvent based coating systems. It is a leveling agent which has excellent substrate wetting, provides the fastest speed of leveling, and has the best anti-carter ability. It is especially suitable for, alkyd, acrylic and polyester based baking finish, polyurethane coatings, 2K epoxy system, air-dry alkyd systems.
