IR-830 Organic Silicon Surface Additive (equivalent to BYK-310)
Composition:
| IR-830 | Polyester modified polydimethylsiloxane solution (equivalent to BYK-310) |
Typical Properties:
| Density at 20°C, g/ml | Non-volatile matter, % | Flashpoint, °C | Solvent | |
| IR-830 | 0.91 | 25 | >46 | xylene |
Proposed Dosages:
| Dosage based upon total formulation, % | |
| IR-830 | 0.05-0.3, in the solvent-free system, can up to 0.5 |
Addition Methods&Process Technology Instructions:
IR-830 can be added during any production stage, including post-addition.
Features:
IR-830 provides a strong reduction in surface tension of paint systems, especially for improving substrate wetting and avoiding cratering. Additionally, surface slip and gloss are increased.
Compared to silicone oils, IR-830 is user-friendly. However, please test the foam stability through experiments before use. Additionally, it is necessary to assess its recoatability and shrinkage cavity tendency.
Uses:
IR-830 is widely used in solvent-free and solvent-borne coating systems, printing inks, adhesive systems, and ambient-curing plastic systems. It belongs to thermal-stable organo-silicone auxiliaries and will not decompose between 150~230℃. This is different from traditional organic silicon. Thus, surface defect and adhesion reduction will not happen when recoating.
Packing and Storage:
Packed in iron drums of 25 kg or 200 kg net each. The validity period is 12 months in sealed containers. Separation or turbidity may occur at temperatures below 5℃.
