Silwet L-7604 Silicone Surfactant
Silwet L-7604 silicone surfactant is an organosilicone polyether copolymer additive used in a wide range of industrial applications as a stabilizer, wetting agent, lubricant, and softener.
This material is self-dispersible or soluble in water or polar solvents.
Silwet L-7604 silicone surfactant reduces the interfacial tension and thus aids the wetting, flow, and leveling of water-based formulations.
More About Silwet L-7604 Silicone Surfactant
Silwet L-7604 silicone surfactant can significantly reduce the surface tension of formulations. This means that, in most cases, formulations containing small amounts of it spread easier and more evenly on surfaces or penetrate substrates more deeply compared to the same formulation without it.
Silwet L-7604 silicone surfactant is suitable for a variety of applications. This material may provide wetting, foaming, antifogging, leveling, and other effects.
Silwet L-7604 silicone surfactant is generally effective at concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 2.0 weight percent. The best dosage should be determined in a small scale test prior to production.
