Product Description
DOWSIL 52 Additive is a silicone additive for improving slip and mar resistance in water-borne coatings, inks, and paints. It is designed for incorporation and dispersion and can be used alone or with wax emulsions. Typical kinematic viscosity is 3,000 to 5,000 cSt, and nonvolatile content is 62 to 67%. The additive is used at low addition levels in acrylic- and polyurethane-dispersion wood coatings, inks, overprint varnishes, and interior or exterior paints.
Key features
- Slip and mar resistance: The additive is used to improve slip and mar resistance in water-borne systems.
- Kinematic viscosity: Typical kinematic viscosity is 3,000 to 5,000 cSt.
- Nonvolatile content: Typical nonvolatile content is 62 to 67%.
Applications
Water-borne wood coatings; inks and overprint varnishes; interior and exterior paints.

Physical Properties
Viscosity
3000-5000 mPa.s
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow.
Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as
the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP.
A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs-
compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than
water would.
The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in
order to better suit an application
