Hemispherx Levaslip 466 Polydimethylsiloxane Leveling Agent
Product Description
Hemispherx Levaslip 466 is a modified polysiloxane flow agent designed for solvent-based coatings and inks. It reduces surface tension to eliminate defects like craters and oil spots while improving substrate wetting and film smoothness. Compatible with most resin systems, it ensures uniform leveling without compromising intercoat adhesion
