Properties
▪ Highly effective
▪ Good substrate wetting
▪ Reduces the surface tension
▪ Silicone free
Application Fields
Due to its chemical structure SILCO CT 2076 is particularly recommended for water based formulations. SILCO CT 2076 is particularly characterised as compatibiliser for water based colorants.
Preferred fields of application:
▪ Industrial coatings
▪ Wood coatings
▪ Water based coating systems
▪ Pigment concentrates
Recommendation for Use
We generally recommend a dosage of 0.5 – 2.0 % calculated on the total formulation. The optimal dosage has to be determined through preliminary tests.
The additive can be added at any point of the production process at low to medium shear forces.
