ADDSiL™ 7278 is a nonionic, organomodified trisiloxane surfactant designed to enhance wetting, flow, leveling, and air release in various coating systems. Its unique structure allows it to significantly reduce surface tension, promoting uniform application and improved surface appearance, even on challenging substrates.
Low surface tension
Excellent wetting properties for difficult-to-wet substrates
Enhances flow and leveling characteristics
Improves gloss and surface smoothness
Reduces surface defects in cured coatings
Effective at low usage levels
Compatible with a variety of coating systems

ADDSiL™ 3278 is a versatile silicone additive designed to enhance wetting, flow, and leveling properties in various coating systems. It is particularly effective in waterborne, solventborne, and radiation-curable (UV/EB) coatings and inks, promoting uniform finishes and reducing surface defects. Its ability to lower surface tension makes it suitable for high-gloss finishes and applications on challenging substrates in industrial and architectural coatings.
ADDSiL™ 3278 is supplied in 25Kg/Pail or 200Kg steel drum or according to customer’s request.
When stored at temperatures between 10°C and 35°C in the original unopened containers, ADDSiL™ 3278 has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of production.
