Shin-Etsu Silicone Selection Guide

KP Series (Coating Film Surface Modifiers)

KPシリーズ

The KP series (coating film surface modifiers) are characterized by their extremely low surface tension. By using this interfacial property, KP series can be added to various paints in small amounts to prevent coating defects and improve the surface.

The KP series (coating film surface modifiers) can be added in small quantities to various coating materials to achieve remarkable effects in preventing various defects in coating films and surface modification.

Features

  1. Low surface free energy easily migrates to the surface and effectively modifies the surface condition of resin and coating film.
  2. Unique performance of dimethylpolysiloxane structure has properties such as low surface tension, antifouling, and slip properties, which can be used to impart various properties.
