Silicone Paint Additive

The paint additives in the Shin-Etsu Silicones KP Series have extremely low surface tension, so even when they are added to paints in very small quantities they prevent coating flaws and improve the surface quality significantly.

Silicone Paints Additives

Some additives in the KP Series also improve the paint’s adhesion to the painted surface. Suitable additives are available for a wide range of applications.

Properties

  • Reduced friction coefficient (i.e., better slip properties) of painted surface
    Silicone migrates easily to the painted surface, so it is able to impart its main property, smoothness, to the paint.
  • Forms a hammertone
  • Silicone that has a high molecular weight forms convection cells on the painted surface, resulting in a hammertone.
    *Hammertone : A tortoiseshell pattern formed by aluminum powder added to the paint.

  • Prevents floating and flooding
  • Silicone disperses evenly inside the paint film and across the painted surface, so it prevents convection caused by the drying of the paint.

  • Prevent blocking
  • Dimethyl silicone fluid has functional groups that react with paint resins, so it improves the solubility with the paint, boosts the paint’s durability, and prevents blocking.

  • Reduce foaming
  • Silicone reduces paint foaming.

  • Boosts resistance to moisture and salt water
  • Silicone includes functional groups that bond to inorganic substances, metal surfaces, and to paint vehicles, so it improves the paint’s adhesion and boosts the salt water resistance.
