SILICONE EMULSION 60% active
A silicone emulsion concentrate which is designed to allow formulators to prepare a range of different strength products, from a single feedstock, to exact customer requirements, by simply mixing with water in the appropriate ratio. Stable emulsions down to 15% solids are easily prepared to order, using standard paddle or propeller stirrers.
Diluted products from concentrate, are frost-stable, avoiding the risk of spoilage from freezing conditions during shipment.
Derivatives are primarily intended for use by heat set web offset printers, to retexturise the printed paper, lubricate passage of the web without marking of the printed surfaces and to control static charge.
