DOWSIL™ 67 Additive

What is DOWSIL™ 67 Additive?

Imparts leveling and wetting to water-borne and radiation-curable formulations on difficult substrates such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester and polyvinylchloride improves wetting and surface appearance of water-borne flexographic ink.

Uses

Improves the wetting of water-borne coatings on difficult substrates
Improves the wetting of water reducible flexographic and rotographic inks on high slip polyethylene, polypropylene and polyethyleneterephthalate used in packaging
Reduction in the amount of organic co-solvents used to effect good wetting and confers improved printing characteristics

Benefits

Wide range of products allows choice of exactly the right product for the application, allowing for cost-effective, optimum performance
Consistent wetting performance across a wide range of formulations and over a wide range of substrates
Can be used in both waterborne and UV cured paints, inks and coatings
Improve wetting of difficult substrates, such as wood, plastic and metal
Little or no impact on the coefficient of friction/slip properties
Recoatable
100% active; low VOC, solvent-free and BTX-free
Effective at low addition levels (recommended 0.1 to 0.4% as supplied, based on total formulation)
Easy-to-use, low viscosity liquids
Enable minimization of raw material portfolio
