Hemispherx DEUCHEM Levaslip 495 Polydimethylsiloxane-Based Leveling Agent
Product Description
Levaslip 495 by Hemispherx DEUCHEM is a polydimethylsiloxane-based flow agent that enhances solvent-based coatings and inks. It reduces surface tension to eliminate craters, pinholes, and oil-related defects while improving film smoothness and thermal stability. Ideal for industrial finishes, it also prevents floating and blooming
