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.

It improves the surface properties of solventbased and solvent-free coatings with particular emphasis upon levelling. With a slight influence on surface tension, ADD-3239 can impart defoaming properties to the system. It is soluble in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, esters and ketones but insoluble in water. Sometimes it is necessary to dilute this 100% active material with a compatible solvent to improve its compatibility in a particular system. ADD-3239 is suitable for coatings and composite.
