ADD-3031 is a silicone surface additive to provide good substrate wetting of critical substrates and excellent anti-cratering by reduction of surface tension of the coating systems. It also improves surface slip, scratch resistance and anti-blocking properties. ADD-3031 is a heat resistant silicone additive, which shows no thermal decomposition at temperatures between 150°C and 230°C. Due to its low surface tension, it prevents floating of pigments, Bénard cells and pinholing. It is suitable for coatings and printing inks.
