Similar as BYK-307, CoatOSil 7001, Silwet L-7001 and Tego Glide 100

KylinSil 230B is a Silicone surface additive for solvent-free and solvent-borne coating systems,

printing inks and adhesive systems, with strong reduction of surface tension. Very good substrate

wetting, prevents cratering, and increases surface slip.

Composition

Polyether modified polydimethylsiloxane

Typical Properties

Form: clear to slight hazy liquid

Color: yellow to amber

Active Content: 100%

Viscosity @ 25C: 1200

Features and Benefits

• KylinSil 230B provides a strong reduction of surface tension of the system. Thus, it especially improves substrate wetting and prevents cratering. Furthermore, it increases surface slip and gloss.
• KlinSil 230B is a highly effective silicone additive for wetting critical substrates, and due to its being solvent-free, it is preferred in systems in which a solvent-free additive is requested, or where intermediate products require specific solvents.

Dosage

In Printing Inks and Overprint Varnishes

• 0.1-1.0 % additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.

In Coating, Adhesives & Sealants

• 0.01-0.15 % additive (as supplied) based upon total formulation.

KylinSil 230B can be incorporated during any stage of the production process, including post-addition. 

Dilution prior to incorporation can be helpful for easier dosing.

Preproduction testing is necessary to determine the optimum dosage for each particular application.
